<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DrivingTibNaked @ Feb 6 2006, 03:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>hmmm...backlight tiburon logo... Does it stick out from the body 1/2 inch, can you describe it?</div>

what I meant by a back-lit logo is that you can see the tiburon logo on the door sill when the car is open, and said logo is lit up by led's or some other medium

It's lit with EL paper.

I've got several pictures of these for the Tiburon, Tuscani and Turbulence.

Other logos too.

Doesn't seem to be made anymore though, I wanted a set bad.

You can find guys on Ebay selling custom sills all the time. Just have them CUT through instead of emboss and get some waterproof EL paper.

Cost should run about $200 for a set.

welcome to the site! i hope you will like it to the best medium possible. i love the idea of the glowing emblems. infact i had that idea a while back when i saw a ford logo light up. then when i found out it's near impossible and i wouldn't want to drill any holes through the body i let it go...

if you could get some photos of your car, mabe we can help you get started.

Yes deffinantly letting a tib breath alittle is a good start....There so restricted out of the factory. Just some nice exhaust and a good intake will help noticbly.

Welcome! and nice tibby you've got there. I agree with everyone else when they say an AEM cai is the first mod you should do, letting the tibby breathe better is always a good thing.

Good luck!

Your car looks good. Take a look at a members car here by the name MK3Design...

he's spent about the same amount one spends on Jr. Bacon Cheesburgers in one month and his car looks fuggin schweet...

You don't need much to make your car look sexy as all hell.
