Thank you.....

I want to put these in the vent holes that are in my Cover from ShowStopper

Orange,
If you look on the right side of the page it is broken down by lengths and the last one in each category is the RGB. I used two 1ft strips. They are $15.49 each so look for that price and you'll see them.

Thankx... Love it... Lori

This is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to get started on this. I have a couple questions before I start. I apologize if this has already been asked and answered. What type and size screws did you use for top and sides? Are they the exact ones that d69chris suggested to use or did you use others? Second, what are the brands and colors of the paint you used? I do not see this information listed in his post. Last, did you connect to some type of switch or is the light on with the hood closed while driving? Thanks for the information and once again, beautiful mod!

Good job

I think I'll be doing this over the winter hibernation. Thanks for sharing

FED728 · 06-13-2011, 02:01 PM

How can you control the color change without ordering a box and remote through these guys? I want the lights but not the box nd remote they sell. Thanks in advance.

photonfury · 06-13-2011, 04:23 PM

AACs new box in $100 I think..it would control the RGB ribbon sets and have more features than a regular box.

tkelly · 06-13-2011, 04:37 PM

It is $75, I just asked them last week how much they would take off if I got the lights without the control box. It would be worth getting the box IMO. It might be a couple of weeks before agkelly73 (my husband) can respond to this. The military has him working in the field these next few weeks. (Doesn't mean he won't check his phone though, lol) Just wanted to give you a heads up as to why he may not respond right away.

i'm ordering the new colorshift 2.0 halo kit through their group buy, i'm planning on rigging up engine lighting and grill lighting to the same controller, aparently it'll handle up to 100ft of leds.

Here is the link to the AAC group buy, but it ends the 14th http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147214
