acrylic bird or light up bird outline....or both?

[third_shift|studios]

i'm going to replace the front plate with a clear plate. The outline will be left clear so that light can shine through from behind. [like Runnws7's] Now do you think it's over kill to put the acryilc bird on the nose, AND have the light outline it? Or should i just have the outline?

here it is with just acrylic bird...

ive never been a big fan of the acrylic birds, but if you like them i would say do both... i mean one is a day time thing... one is a night time thing...

p.s. anyone know if they have these clear things for vettes... i mine needs repainting anyway so i was thinking about doing this while im at it...

try afterthoughts...they're a sponsor, that's where i got the clear plate from.

i looked, but doesnt really have much for the vette...

sigh... old ppl just dont pimp them out enought to bring in cool parts...

I really like either one - they look awesome, will you have it running all the time? How are you getting the light for it?

i always have my fogs running, i'll wire it from them. as far as light goes, i'll tack in 2 or 3 white cathodes behind it and that should do. Runn uses an entire peg board of LED's for his.
