Might be able to replace the LED's in the acrylic with multicolor and then wire them to won of those controllers. And or if those panel parts pop out someone can make 3rd party or scrounge from salvage later to mod it.
Of course if you have the money get the option I think it an awesome idea.
And as far as the crasy UFO light thing you really can only do that when parked else you could get ticket most places.
Here is the kind of controller that could be used to mod it.
