I was recently sponsored by Varad Lighting. They sent me a lot of stuff and I have been working on it a little here and there installing buts and pieces at a time. I am about 40% done right now.

The boxes when they came





Here are some of the things I've installed. Front driver's and passenger's door pockets.





Front driver's and passenger's foot wells.







The trunk also has accent lighting now as well



I still have engine and wheel well accent lighting that I need to install as well as the under car lighting kit.

Good job with the LED's T. I wouldn't do wheel weels tho. I say this with respect to you but wheel well led's looks kind of tacky. I rather have a light on the floor point up than to have the wells lit up with LED's. Great job tho with getting varad to sponosr you. I run all their LED through out my car and they make good stuff. Its lasted over 2 years so far with no burn outs. Good stuff.

thanks A! i will take your ideas into consideration. but with them sending me the lights i kind of have to put them on. maybe i can make some sort of external display with the wheel well kit they sent me? glad to hear that it has worked out for you for this long. that is relieving to hear. thanks again man!

Thanks to Dan (GGPIS3) for getting me this Tranny Cooler from Perma-Cool for my B-day. Just another step closer to putting Project Boost together!
