K, so this is probably almost 3 years in the making now, and I've finally gotten around to it. This is where it started: http://www.newninja.com/forums/f98/my-take-on-flush-mounts-4014.html
First, the fender: Move the license plate to the fender:
Wire LED's together, glue into fender with CA glue - the best stuff ever!
Tape it up with electrical tape to keep reflections down and LED's stuck where they're supposed to be:
Closer look:
All lit up:
Now the body panels:
First make a template out of lexan. It's easy to design and decide on the layout you want to use, instead of accidentally drilling a hole in the wrong place:
Use a punch to put little divots in the body work to make sure your drill doesn't wander. Pre-drill the holes with a thin drill and make sure they are where you want them before bring out the big drill bit.
More continues tonight.... Soldiering and wiring. Hopefully the 250 will have a tail by the end of tonight.
