zebedy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 My wife told me yesterday after 9hrs straight in the garage " this has to be the last one that you are doing and let that be the end of it please, you look tired and grumpy" lol I said yes obviously, but you can never say yes as you all know, as it goes on and on and on and never ends. Anyway, latest pic of the cookie monster project. Getting there, there is light somewhere........or is there?? Keep watching, until next week.................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebedy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 haha. I know you'd comment. So...er...nope. I like em. Not everyones cuppa I know, but im ok with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 They'd look far better set into the bumper matey, is that not an option? Right now they look like cheap jewellery, like kids stick to home made Christmas cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) it is an option, which I did consider but for now and for the sake of my build going that much quicker I just did it that way. I have that option later on if I cant live with it as it is. Theres quite a lot of work involved is doing it though. Its not the case of mounting them from behind. Because its GRP you need to mould in an internal return on the cut out so that no GRP core is on show. By next year though I might start over again and go for a complete new look or sell it. I dont get attached to cars like some, so dont mind experimenting and cutting things up. Edited November 9, 2015 by ZZZebady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I agree with Dan on both counts but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Agreed mate, nice colour but not a fan of those LED's in that config. They look stuck on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Dan, I had a good look at em tonight and your right. I can take em out and drill bigger holes and push em through from behind so that the black surround that you see is not visible with only the shallow lens popping through. I'm gonna try that. Not everyday I agree with ya Dan. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Don't worry, it happens to everyone once in a blue moon Definitely the right call, I think it'll look so much better afterwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think it would look better if you first unmounted the LEDs and break out a tub of bodyfiller. If you like it....but....and....*sigh*... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I can do what I like really because I'm the one prepping the panels and painting.

Flex Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Personally I'd make the LEDS bigger, extruding further and flashing alternate colours whilst blasting out staying alive through the stereo. Live it large. Also I hope there's a mural of Cookie Monster somewhere on the rest of the car. I hear he's currently in rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Aye, Cookie Monster has to appear somewhere on the car. Youre going to need lows as well, unless the engine isnt fitted at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggalo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You risk ending up on the Barryboys website with those LEDs. Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
