Had 50 odd led's left over from the rear lights as you could only purchase them in bunches of 50's so i am putting them into the roof
Passenger side being wired up
All three rows working
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

Pulled the lambo replica out today for a clean up of the unit here it is beside the mr2
The roof section still fiberglassing and sanding
This section will direct air over and down toward the engine cover from the scoop
