Passenger side being wired up

Interior shot of the led's working


Drivers side wired up and working

Interior shot

Second coat of primer

Third coat or primer


Looks like a bomb on the roof of the car :-) i have to raise the roof up 15mm so all the wires will be hidden

@ nyek7 - Cheers :-)

Picked the roof scoop up today

The LED's all fiberglassed down

Second layer of fiberglass this layer will pin down the roof scoop

Loads of bumps looks like a gold course :-) these will be sorted


I used filler in the low spots to level the area out then sand this back then re-fiberglass the whole roof
