Man, that looks great!
To think how this thread started out with everyone screaming "RICE"!
Congrats, Amp'd. Another success story.

LOL....I hear ya DWB about the thread. Almost funny to look back at the start and read the comments!

That white...had me eat my words. It DOES look good on WDP (paint codes....slowly sinking in). Thanks to da2rumac for the post. Thanks again Rockstar, for helping him out with the pics.

What makes this cool is how the ones that have bought, really love it. Making a product from an idea...cool....making someone happy...priceless.

Did I say...front coming soon??

Something tells me you can handle it based on your profession.

PS...I was exactly going to say what you did before reading your response about eating your words. One would think it's not enough contrast, but dammit...that white on white is GORGEOUS! Great job with all the underlit and the led license. The emblem was a natural progression.

This mod is slowly but surely turning into as much of a "must have" as being lowered and tints.

Great job having the balls and forsight to turn an idea into a product into a success story. Great guy, great product and def. great seeing it all come together. Looking forward to some "front" action, myself!

After your comment about white on white, I would tread lightly!

Lol...blue on blue might look great. You CANNOT go wrong with white on ANY color (even white!)

Well, everything is stock at this point... I prefer white(ish) colors for most of my lighting needs. I might go blue/blue just so at night it doesn't look too conspicuous. I dunno.

AMP'd - if I get blue and don't like em, can/will you exchange em for white?

Because it's an electronic and made to order part he may have a hard time dealing with shipping back and then reselling. Just make sure you study what you see on the website before deciding. I think white will be least conspicuous and most classy. But I'm biased. I got that and I won't look back.

I don't want to speak for him...maybe he has a more lenient return policy but I'd understand if he didn't although he IS very reasonable.

Anyway. Not too sure about the door sills...I haven't seen em but then again they don't interest me...ironically enough. lol.

Lemmon, no one does the door sills anymore-sorry! You might try the Black Market section to see if anyone is selling theirs. That's how I got mine.

Here is the first CL to post pics. Finally! 03...thanks for the pics! Glad you like it! It looks great.

TLemmon...about the different color...it may be an option on the front...but the back has the Tape....which needs to be replaced. Not impossible....but not really what I want to get into yet. If you TOTALLY hate the color...we can talk. It wouldnt be free of course...but it wouldnt be the full price either. As far as blue...well...mine is blue...on blue. But...white would look hot I'm sure. Possibly even red. Go with your gut. White is probably more distinct on the blue.

Both look really nice! Think the difference you are seeing is the cameras are different jmo.

Wed. night I went out to meet up with some members. One member took this pic. This was done with a really expensive camera. Again the pic looks different and doesn't show how it looks in person. Now the whole area is blaring red lol. Even some members that questioned it changed their opinion when the saw it in person.

Perhaps have the person take another picture using a higher ISO setting and a faster shutter speed. That way the light wont saturate the CCD in the camera so much and come across as "blaring red".

Guys, the mystery of digital cameras, lighting, light wavelength of various colors, paint color - light color combinations are all variables. Short answer...all of the white LEDs are exactly the same.

More than likely, the cameras are the main difference.

Jays_04TL, keep in mind that pictures do not these emblems justice. These are on an AM. I have to get a friend with an HD camera to take some real pics.
