Thought about blue leds for lighting in the trunk.What do you guys think about this idea?For the trunk lid I'm thinking of making a panel with a plex window with the star symble lighted by blue leds.

Could some show me where to look or help me with some way to make a mold of my trunk lid. I'm wanting to make a cover panel for the lid similar to Steve's.But mine has no carpet to start with.Thanks

I got squat on suggestions... because it looks good to me brother!

I feel you on some leds though- looks as if you could hide them pretty easily right under the lid on the body as well as down there by the latch... or make a bit of lit plexi over the star and around the subs... or both.

Looking great man. You're making tons of progress. I can't wait to get my vinyl for my hatch build.

Thank you sir. Yea I was thinking of that with the LEDs on the rear deck. I haven't thought about lighting the star thanks.

Thank you sir. I got put on hold for now wife decided to go through everything in the garage. After this is cleaned up I'll get back to the last panel then to the glassing the rear deck .

take the trunk lid off and use fiberglass. Looks like there are only 4 screws holding it on. Should be easy enough. That's the only way unless you wanna get glass all over that wonder work you did.

I agree, if you place some hidden LEDs in there it could really look nice at night.

And I was gonna suggest the same thing stuffdog did, remove the lid, lay some tape of foil down and then go to town on some glass!

Yea it's easy to take off and realigned.What is the best way on this to make the glass to come off. Do the same thing I've seen on here. Put a layer of tape down or do I need mould release agent? Thanks.

Cool I'm going to do the LEDs for sure. Noob question can I hard wire them into the trunk light wires or is it better to use toggle switch? Your post didn't show before I responded to stuffdog now I got the answer to the question.Thanks guys for the help.
