Default LED Emblem !

Really want this !! Kind of expensive though. Plus gotta drill holes in the trunk. What you guys think ?

Is an LED base that you mount ur old emblem to or what? Possible to route the wiring through one of the emblem holes in the trunk?

I wouldn't do that to my car. It's isn't appealing at all. To each his own

Looks cool, but rather spend the $$ on something else.

For road use, I think it'll look nice if it's like 75% darker.

I also stumbled upon this on ebay a while back. I'm curious how it'll look, but i agree with rash, it definitely has to be dimmer. If its subtle enough it might look really good.

I would not recommend it myself - it would make the car like high profile that your car would would likely be more of a target.

It would be cool if it was red and integrated with the brake lights.
