It's interesting. I wouldn't do it to my car but I dig it.

i like it being an old {very old}hotrodder /custom guy i like things a bit different well done

I'm on the fence. It is done with an aftermarket panel and individual backlit letters from Oracle.. They are a semi_flat black during daylight. Thanks for the reply.

it's unique and I would definitely stop and check it out at a car show or parking lot.
I'm with old8ba. I appreciate things that are not "mainstream".

for me tho? I prefer the clean panel.

How did you do it? Is there a wire for each letter going through the panel and then tied into a main harness that gets power/ground from one of the tails?

Well done and looks great! Did you have your calipers powder coated yellow?

 

[Beachbum58]

Yes, thanks

 

[Beachbum58]

Cobrajet, that's exactly how it was done. There is a connector right where the hole for the camera harness is so it can be removed for service, etc.

is that an aftermarket blank panel modified with the light up lettering?

 

[Beachbum58]

Yes. See reply to Cobrajet for details.

I'm not mad at it at all. Looks very well done. As a person who as always tinkered with the appearance of my vehicles to make them just a little different and to make them stand out in some way I can appreciate the work.

I like what you did with the Rear Panel.

I've had my 350 Brake Package for years, but have never installed them because it would require a quarter inch spacer and new lugs and would push the tires out beyond the wheel arch because of the E-Brake and Knuckle. .

Can you provide the specs on your wheels? Size, Width, Offset, etc. might be able to get a Custom Wheel made that would look the same as stock and fit the wheel arch like yours.

Did you use the 350 front Hub to eliminate the Caliper Adapter?

Thanks!

I like the lettering. The backlighting is a bit much for my tastes, but we all have different tastes which is what makes the car world so great. If you like it, keep rocking it
