Yep, definitely reminds me of Tron (the first one, the second one was pathetic). I dig it though I wouldn't do it on my car.

Do it because you like it, not because the other kids think it's cool. Set trends, don't follow.

No bad but you need to do it to the other side too.

Not a fan of it. I would expect this on a Honda Civic.

To each their own, looks cleanly done, not ghetto.

I am going to get the second side done, will post some DIY photos too . It seems some love it and some really don't. I will give it a try for a few weeks and see how I feel . Currently they turn on when the car does, looking for a way to have them turn on when the lights turn on right now.

I liked the dash accent better, actually. Looked like the interior of the new BMW e-something supercar.
