Sick site. Never even knew about this stuff

looks amazing firewolff. What parts specifically need to be ordered from the Lite Tape site? I looked, but was a little confused as to what to order. Also, where behind the door panel did you put the tape? Did you keep the factory installed LED on top and the tape on bottom, or just replace the LED entirely?

Any idea if this would work to add ABL to an originally non-leather car? I would assume further modifications would have to be done to the panels to allow the light to shine through.

Got rid of the led entirely. Tape all the way around.

If you have the cloth inserts. I don't believe the light will show through so you would need to get the painted panels from the dealership.

Hmm... Does the LS have cloth? The one I sat in at the OKC International Auto Show had a kind of pebbled/textured plastic...

There is no textured plastic AFAIK. My 1LT/RS has cloth but the cloth piece is on top of a hard plastic to it's hard to the touch. A couple of us have been wondering what is under the cloth. I'm tempted to rip the cloth off mine and paint the door/dash panels.

I think this might work well for footwell lighting also...

with the dimmer would look better are you ready for installations how much would it be worth the drive from houston

wow nice work... my only criticism is the same as some others, and that its to bright... it went from ambient lighting to bring inside a neon club lol... but it still looks sick...... if you can get dimming information from the company and match the stock ambient lighting, I would consider making a weekend trip to texas to have this installed ...

FIREWOLFF · 11-05-2009, 07:46 PM
