Thanks coupe, thats what Im going for, and DSMMAN, they do make some sweet sunglasses haha.

IllizitGA, the reason I have duals is becasue I put a flowmaster 80 series single in dual out exhaust on there. Then I got some nice stainless dual tipped tips and put them on there. Similar to the GAGT look.

c45p3r, I was going to snap some pics before I put my dash back together but I forgot. For the drivers side, I took out the gauges and everything and drilled a hole about 8 inches back, right in the bend of the vent tube, this way the led is hidden when you look down the vent. The 3 vents in the middle, some people just use 1 led in the middle since all 3 vents are connected but I put 1 in each vent, right on the bend before the tubes become horizontal, if that makes sense, again so you cant see them when looking down the vent. Now the passenger side is a bit more difficult. It is hard to get the drill far enough back, to get the led out of the way so i just drilled it about 8 inches back and then from the front, took out the vent, and superglued a small peice of plastic in front of the led . This way when you look at it, you see the plastic and no LED. Oh yeah, and to do the 3 middle vents, i took out my cd player and dash kit, and to do the passenger I took out the glove box.
