backlit arrowhead idea

[iroc2]

so after seeing a backlit lexus emblem on a customezed SUV at hte chiagago auto show and then the same one at world of wheels, i have been thinking about it lately and to do it to an arrowhead.

id take 1/4" plexiglass and then cut and shape it to the correct dimensions and then bevel the edges and polish them, and partially hollow out the center to put 2-3 LEDs in it so that the outer edges light up. Id be putting an overlay over it with the reflecdome

yes/no?

just another thing to add to the list of things id like to try/do

Do it. Sounds like a neat project

I've seen it done on grand ams. Looks pretty cool

i dont think it's even worth your time unless you park your car a lot.

or get a reflective overlay and save the time.....lol they both light up and your audi led headlights plus a lit arrow head would start looking like a disco party

simple is the new sexy....hence the reason a debadge looks good

either way ill be making a write up. if i dont go insane with it i may offer to make some for people. all id need is an old arrowhead for reference on sizing

hmmmmm i like your idea but ill have to think about how to do a normal badge if you really want to. red backlit would look sick on your car.

EDIT: http://www.new-cars.com/2004/pontiac/grand-am/2004-pontiac-grand-am-gxp-rims.jpg ya one of these i would think to be possible. you will have to drill a hole in your door for wirign tho unless theres already a hole or 2 from alignment pegs
