    While in for some stereo upgrades, I had them install some strip LEDs in the engine bay.

    Separate switch, easy on/off. RGB to control the color. Hard core guys might flame me, but its pretty cool =)

    Now you can admire that V8 beauty at night!

    Overall your 430 has to be one of the best looking ones I've seen. Thanks a million more times for the ride at the photoshoot at BW. It's something I won't forget! :D

    It gets pretty hot in there. The light strips will melt & fall off... I've seen it happen before with a 360.

    Thanks everyone, it does get hot in there, and they might fall off. They're tucked, taped, and tied pretty well up into the lid cover Grooves. I'll keep an eye on them. They can come out entirely in five minutes, no holes nothing permanent.

    I have a whole file somewhere with all of those pictures. Fun day indeed. I recall that was the day I met Jennie for the first time, and Rob took the picture of that line of cars standing in the back of the Tundra.

    Yes, how I remember all those days! I am just a car owner now, that was a fun business but in the wake of 9/11, MCI WorldCom, Presidential Chads, Enron, Anthrax, etc... it was just impossible to keep open.

    I don't have any of those pics, so if anyone can forward that would be great!!!

    I do thank everyone that participated, we did a good job, but fate was not to be for Exotic Car World =) Back into healthcare and doing well. Life has its turns and it was a great experience.

    Mike...

    And yes, the center tall blonde, thats me...=)
