DIY afterburner LED lights bc i'm poor
I really want the LED style tail-light achieved by the after burner kit
BUT i really cannot afford it. Instead I plan to buy: 1. flexible white LED strips ($6) 2. wiring (can get from friend - $0) 3. dremel (can get from friend - $0) 4. exterior grade silicone (home depot I guess - $5) (can get gun from friend - $0) 5. blue masking tape (have lots already - $0) $11 and about 1-2 days of no Camaro, to let the units set/dry/seal properly http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-Un...#ht_3080wt_939 so ya ANY WORDS OR ADVICE/ADMONISHMENT? It seems simple enough, but please let me know what you think!

Are you going for the ACC style afterburner or the Concept afterburner look?

I don't want to step on ACC's toes, but yea - their Audi-esque running xmas lights look.
Except I dont have the $ for the set-up
