Had this idea and the parts for a while now. It took Rita to start working on it. I was able to fit 366, 8000mcd red LEDs behind it. I grinded the head of each one so it'd dispurse the light better. It's wired for both the running light and the brake light but only the running light is hooked up now. The 3rd brake light wire goes to ground when it's off so it wants to short. I need to figure out a way to use it other than hooking up a SPDT relay to it. I used liquid electrical tape to seal up the soldering and I also used a piece of a mud flap to keep the circuit board off the body of the car so it wouldn't short.
I cut off the stock face and bent a piece of .080 thick plexiglass with a heat gun to contour it. Then glued it to the frame. Came back with some JB Weld on the sides to fill in any open places and make it a little stronger. Then used some black caulk to seal it off so no light would come though. I made my new emblem with AutoCAD and cut it on the vinyl cutter. Notice the bird is not stock, but looks like the front bird. I think it looks better and still appears stock. Painted it with 6 coats of black and 6 coats of clear. I used some Cardinal Red translucent vinyl and put 2 coats on the backside of it.
I also took off my key hole and drilled it out a hair bigger to pu a 1" reverse camera for my screen.

Looks cool. If you ever have it back apart again, you might consider painting the sides of the taillights black. The light gray plastic shows up in the seams on each side of the filler panel.

That light gray is actually from the taillights and due to the flash. Mine is painted black all the way around.

mud flap went between the back of the circuit board to the car. I tie wrapped the board to the car. What file do you want, the CAD file or the cutter file (2-color BMP)?
