major update:) 7-13-12
roger at emblempros and I , threw around a few ideas:). i already had my sills doors lighted as you can see below, but the "Chevrolet" wasnt doing so well anymore, i liked emblempros lighted door sill but i wanted to use mine as i will be rewiring the whole car with RGB leds, so i wanted my door sills to change colors. i will be doing that next week. but anyway, got the doors sills in today and WOW, awesome, got them installed real quick, here is a quick peek:) since the leds are down about 1 inch the lighted letters have a real depth to them when you see them in person. you have to go to the end of the 1st post:) lupe updated 11-5-10 more pics added to post #17 ok, messing around again. got all these bright ideas swirling in my weird head:D, i know one day their gonna bite me in the butt, but here you go. 1. purchased led lights from autozone, used a 12 inch and about 4 inches off another one, i cut them to fill the full channel i made. 2. purchased plexiglass from home depot. 3. cut out the letters from door sill with a razor and straight edge. 4. purchased roof edging from home depot. 5. going to wire into my footwell light, to come on at the same time below is the flashing i purchase from home depot Attachment 178524 below is flashing cut to size, i put both pieces together, i held them together with 3m electrical tape. i set them to mark out the area to cut. Attachment 178525 below is the outline area to cut. Attachment 178526 below is the door sill with the letters already cut, i originally thought it was thin metal:facepalm:, but its thin plastic material, very flimsy. what you do not see is the plexiglass i already cut it to the shape of the door sill. this give it some strength(just enough), i have it sitting on the channel with the lights installed in the channel, this is the test. Attachment 178532 this is the channel with the LED's. Attachment 178535 man, this looks better than i thought:D Attachment 178538 now that i like the look, time to cut:D:headbang: Attachment 178540 Attachment 178541 now that the hole is cut, i fit the channel and do some final filing. Attachment 178542 intall channel and test lights. i also had to drill a hole to pull the wire thought and run wires along the door jamb, i dont have a pic of that right now , i will try to post one later tonight.

Looks good, but scared to cut into my car

Holy shit, man! That is freaking sweet! God, I'd be so worried about cutting up my door sills like that. I'd also be worried about the Camaro not being cut out well. Looks good@!
|
looks cool!.. you must love cutting into your Camaro lol
|
you are insane....... I am sure everywhere you cut will end up rusting.... looks good but damn
|
isn't the door sill part of the car's crash cage? I would be worried about that. . . but it looks bad ass.
|
