Thanks I thought so too myself, it's too bad the dash trim doesn't come the same way but it would be hard to get it to light up without showing the LEDS individually.

Well as it is a lot of light was escaping as I just had it raised on the floor slightly above my led strip. I think to do this properly I'd have to add a back panel and have it have a reflective but dark surface and then have the lights form a box around that trim introducing the light to the translucent panels without actually being behind the panels. If the lights are directly behind the panels you will see each led individually yet distorted.
