Does anyone know if the lights behind the SGM acrylics are green or blue? The light shows green but I'm not sure if it is green light or blue showing through green. I would really like to continue the light across my dash but need to know the correct color. Please HELP!!!!

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-10-2011, 08:01 AM

Thank you! we were waiting for SGM to be available in the SS and then for 2011 what do you know... we got it. We love it and it is an awesome car!

I just did this last week, it wasnt too bad of a mod to do. I am going to heat up and bend the tube on the drivers side because it does push the trim piece out too far.

I also need to space out the passenger side trim piece a little bit, in the middle of the panel it gets pushed in and the light doesnt shine out

So I guess you obviously agree with it pushing the driver side out a bit too much? We certainly need to come up with a better way to do that side.

On the passenger side I was having the same problem as you, but then I stopped pushing it in so far and then it was ok. There seems to be a sweet spot as far as how far to push it in.

JCO2185 · 02-10-2011, 10:21 PM

yea a little too far for my liking. Im not sure if it was ever mentioned, but I would recommend taping off the end of the light tube on the drivers side, otherwise the light shines out onto the door panel...

JCO2185 · 02-10-2011, 10:24 PM

still need to tweak it in a few spots, plus my cell phone takes crappy pics lol

TJ91 · 02-10-2011, 11:12 PM

im thinking i might sand my trim....well see. Got my lights today

*TAG UR IT* · 02-11-2011, 12:06 AM

Just remember...if you sand, DO NOT JACK IT UP! Or you will be buying new inserts and they ain't cheap! make sure that line is SOLID on the back.

Thank you to everyone for the help/advice and the great pics! Especially of your dislikes about the mod, it helps more than you might know.
