I love what you're doing and that you are being different than anyone else. I think the best part about this forum is finding unique tastes like yours. Keep up the good work.
I have two strips of LED's in my TS bumper as well and absolutely love how it looks.

Yeah I saw your post about the 2 Led Strips. Funny that's what Irvin one of my guys suggested. He's the one that also came up with the idea to heat them up a bit to get them to bend and he cut grooves-slots to form the curved shaped because these are the ones for a VW. I will post pics of these this weekend as well.
Next we are considering side markers, clear, or long thin amber ones, and a longer 3rd brake light that is also LED. I was considering one from a Benz, but found one out of an Impala 03 model so will test it for length. Just need it to be a few inches longer nothing to radical. Will post pics Thursday or Friday when I get to visit both locations.
Thanks for all the feedback.

fri nite july 12 update
Well the longer brake light will not work, so I might just go with the OEM brake light but in LED,-another 150.00 not in the budget. The lambo doors are off the car so this weekend end the sanding on the door jams will take place. Also will repair door mechanism while cover is easy accesible. The front end looks great. Took some more pictues with the Led switch backs- turn signal and drl.

As far as the "face lift" goes, I felt adding the tigershark front and WCC raised hood made a huge difference. I am hoping one day to go for the L5 rear flares.

side marker
Actually there will be a side marker, so it will past inspection, but a very small one tied into the LED's, a clear marker at that, if push comes to shove I will use an amber bulb, but for now it will be a clear bulb with a clear leans. You need something reflective on the car, not that I will take it out a lot at night. I apperciate the feedback, thanks!

Friday july 19th- front fascia
Well the final steps will soon be done. Here are recent pics of the front fascia. The clear corner is tucked in beside the double curved LED strip. As you can see it looks like the lights were all molded to fit nicely in. The z06 vent scoop is done and just needs to be sanded a bit more. I did speak to Irvin about doing other c5's with the same scoop and he says he will do more of these because he enjoys custom work. All he would need is for you to take your own bumper off and bring it to him or ship it. I will get more pics from rest of car in a few days.
