wow, that looks great man! definitely lights that trunk up nice

Thanks man.. I was hesitant at first, I didn't want to be able to see the led strips. Luckily there is plenty of space to hide them. In total I used around 11 feet of LED strips.

I'd be interested in a write up for the radio/phone deal. As you can see I'm not too swift when it comes to electronics, but I wouldn't mind an option other than my CDs and static radio because of my shorty antenna

For those of you that care, there is now a write up for the hardwired fm modulator..

Also.. figured what to do with the rest of the LEDs!! I wired them into the dome light, so theyre only on when it is on, and mounted them under the dash and a strip behind the shift..

No love for the interior LEDs?!

Just ordered something from lethal... Nothing to major, it will add a nice touch under the hood.

Also will be refreshing my brakes next weekend. I will finally paint the rears to match the fronts!!!

That LED set up is cool. Thanks for the info on the aux/antenna adapter also. I have been looking for a way to add an aux jack for my iPhone and keep the stock 460 and appearance.

the lighting is so clean and crisp looking compared to the yellowed old dirty looking factory crap lol. one day i'll get into all the lighting in and out of this car. one of those things that you wouldn't think would make much difference but definitely does!

Update:

Just another mod on the list to do really, but it is my first "engine" mod!!

Review:

I paid $275 shipped for this ($30 of which was for the painting), was it worth it? TBD.... My exhaust sounds distinctly different, the engine bay looks nice and my butt dyno may feel a few more ponies... or it could be from my pockets being a bit lighter... BUT I purchased this more for the engine appearance, the exhaust note change is a +.

My carpet folds down in the same place, drives me nuts.

Lighting looks really cool. Don't know how many times I've dropped things at night and had to wait until the next day to find em since we have no floor lighting at all. You get that strip off ebay? And I assume you just cut the strip wherever you like?

I got the lights off of amazon! This was enough for me to do the inside as well as the trunk..
