Under the seat would be nice. I'm planning to put a couple over the glovebox, and in the trunk. I might go crazy with 100, like maybe 5 in each wheel well to light up behind the tire. Or a few in the front bumper powered by the horn switch! If you can figure a way to trigger them the same way a timing light is triggered use them for under glow or footwell lights that'll flash faster with the engine!

I went wild also.. I drilled holes in the underside of my door.. place about 10 in a row.. wired them up through the roof light switch.. so when the door opens I get a strip of red underneath.. OMFG looks so so sexy !! tongue.gif good luck!

lol... Here's a good idea for you. Get a piece of plastic or metal stock strip, drill the LEDs into it, then do some wiring. I have a bar of 12 LEDs under the dashboard on both sides which are activated by turning on the passenger side dome light. That way I can have a bit of light when I need it, or if the passenger drops her purse, she can see everything. It's a very very cheap project, $3 for wire and $3 for the aluminum stock. The weight is minimal so I zip-tied it to the fan on the passenger side and the under-dash frame on the driver's side.

I was @ U Pull It the other day on foster, and really contemplated snagging a Turbo from a SAAB 900. But I didn't ask how much they would chard for it. So I left it. Found sideskirts instead....lol.

You said you got your turbo from there right? How much they charge you? I dunno. I'm not totally sure I'll put one in, but have crossed my mind just for the WTF factor.....lol.
