Hey Z, could you give us a schematic or just tell us how the door strip is wired?

I wired in footwell lights that turn on when you open the doors. I provided constant power, and then used the switched ground from the map lights. The map lights have 2 grounds, one that is switched on when you open the doors and one that is constantly ground. The only down side to doing it this way is that if you turn the map lights on with the switch then the footwell lights will also turn on. I like this because I have black lights for the map lights that are not good for seeing in the dark so the footwell lights are useful for extra lights.

Painting took more then i thought. Please check the colour. In real life it looks EPIC (imho) Photo from mobile phone

Stock SRT wheels will be black with violet edge . Other small details will be black.

I wired my footwell lights into the cigarette lighter so all the wires are hidden and there's no extra switches. The lights switch on now whenever I turn the key. Also did this modification in the truck before I switched to my full neon kit.

Hello guys!

Well the car is done for 95% (only wheel caps are missing). Check the photos in cloudy and sunny weather.









Opinions?

Not my style, but the execution looks spot on. I bet that paint really looks impressive in person.

Great job!
