I had my Tint Shop install it for me. They do great work (Rainbow Tint). West Falls is south of Buffalo NY near East Aurora and Orchard Park.

BTW, I think I saw your car for the first time on CustomGrandAM. (It says Tom, I assume you) and I seen it on GrandAmGT.com, Very-very Nice. I want to make mine SC/T like yours. Good work Man

I host every thing through photobucket. I know they were doing maintenance yesterday. But, I can see the pics now.

Welcome Luke.

I was just looking at your lighting panel "How To" a couple days ago. Nice project if you have a laser etcher.

Check out www.TeamGI. com

I get more requests to make switch boxes for everyone. To be honest I would but I can't make 100 of them.....I will check out TeamGI. Thanks for the heads-up.

Sharp sharp SHARP look'n vehicle. I'm not into white at all, but your car most certainly makes the exception. :)

Where did you get that switch box for the lights? Fab it yourself? I shoulda thought of that when I did the bypass for my clutch in my Sunbird. Woulda been a hell of a lot easier to fiddle with than the setup I did. {chuckle}

What setup did you do? I made that switch panel myself. I will put a DIY thread up for it.

With the Sunbird, I went to Walmart and bought a rocker switch, couple different rolls of different coloured wires (Yellow and black IIRC). The face plate was already in the car as the previous owner had already done the hard work of putting an after-market stereo in. I just undid the plastic face plate, drilled a hole in it for the switch, wired it up to a relay (I didn't have a volt meter to test how much flow was going through the clutch switch, so I figured I'd let the relay handle the load, and not the switch) and boom, had myself the option to trick the car into thinking the clutch was always pushed in.

Took more time getting the wiring nice stuffed in the small crevice under the stereo because I didn't have a lot of room to play. Was fun.

Look forward to your post. If I do the LED thing to my car, I may do that, or figure another way thats more `hidden` and wireless. ;)
