More fun with LEDs...side vents?
 
Bored on my day off, so I'm messing around with some LEDs and semi-transparent neon green bendy straws. :p

What to do with this?

Ew. No. Too ricer. And that's a lot coming from me.

Yeah, I'm just playing...this is my weekend ;)
Mocked it up and don't like it. I like the glow it puts off, though. I may use it somewhere in the future.

It may work as an interior mod. Or maybe under the door handles if it wasn't too bright. But side vents, definitely not.

red would look cool coming from behind the side vents

I think I just spit up in my mouth. Stop please, boredom is not a good enough excuse to do this to a Porsche.

I think those would nicely shine installed under the D&P doors or inside the front trunk. They would glow only when you open a door of course. Didn't know these neon style leds were available. Interesting hardware.

You'll run the risk to gear up flying bugs in the TB if placed in the air ducts ;)

But I get the idea. Actually, and excellent idea for a show-kinda-car. You'd need those in the front grilles as well to make it a bit more venom looking tho

I actually just made them with neon straws and 1 standard LED each. My boy is a chip off the old block and collects electronics hardware. He gave me these LEDs to use on my car somehow, so I can't let him down. He will love these little "neon" tubes I made...just have to figure out what to do with them. :confused:
