Heres another one I did recently for less than $10. It lights up the area where most of us put the chrome cover for the fuel tank between the exhaust.
Here goes, hope you enjoy!!

Here is the lights as they come out of the pack


Take your tag off


Remove your back up plate assembly


Take out 1 of your tag lights


I ran a long zip tie down from the back plate down the bumper cover


Here you can see the bottom of the bumper cover where the long zip tie came out of the bottom of the cover


Pull the 51" long LED pigtail up to where the tag light is


Cut the wires going to the tag light, and using butt connectors splice the LED lights in line


Tidy the remaining wire up before buttoning everything up


Here is the LED's hanging getting ready to be installed


After wiping down the area for the LED's to be stuck, secure LED's by peeling the backing off and sticking in place


Finished job after only 30 minutes


Another finished shot

I think I will be checking this thread as much as the one with "girls and vettes".

BarryBum: Nice mod. Those LED strips have a rather narrow beam (about 30 degrees) so the light spread is a small.

You can get better distribution with less output (subtle glow) with one of these Plus, the mount is stronger:

Do you have the specs on the foam board and the battery Den cover. I would love to do that to my 99 vert.

Here's my contribution, more of ways I modified my mods to better serve my needs.

First a piece of 1/2" grey schedule 40 pipe with a hole drilled through it and a black zip tie. This keeps my V1 radar detector nice and snug and prevents any bouncing.




Took my trunk liner to an embroidery shop and had my Corvette Model information added to it.



The world's most expensive trunk liner....start with a regular trunk partition, took the extra blue leather from my interior makeover, added an oval piece of plexiglass, painted it LeMans Blue on the back side to add depth, and then add the most expensive Corvette emblem in recent GM history.



And last but not least, I wanted to cover up my trailer hitch cover (yes I have a trailer hitch, I pull my track wheels/tires to the track). I found a nice Jake emblem and it covers it up nicely.

Your only trouble is that the fog light area doesn't have a particularly good mounting point. Most fog screens have a plastic molded frame that holds the screens in place.

the spray can?.... wow!!!

No spec's but I'll tell you how I did it. I took and laid in some printers paper. I guess any paper would work as long as you can push it into the contour to create a crease. Then cut along that crease to create a pattern. I then transfered it to cardboard making any ajustments needed until it fits into the recesses. I then laid the cardboard onto the foam board marked around it with maker then cut it out. I hope that helps. As far as the den cover, there was a template on here some time ago. It's where I got it. Do a search you will find it with a title of "Battery template for the computer enlightened"

These are all great DIY mods.
