Went to Blackcats Customs web site. I like the Black you did, but what color of lights did you select. They offer Light Blue, Red, Green or Yellow. I like the way yours look. Did you have the added feature for the dale signature? I want mine to say Limited Edition and it's looks like thay will put it where you have your signature set up.

I had them add the Dale sig, the red accent lines, the 3, and the bow tie. They can add anything you like but each item that you add that's a extra charge. But the guy who runs it is cool and he'll work with you. I didn't get the LEDs from blackcat I got them off eBay. For the lights to remain white I told them leave it clear because I was add white LEDs
. Mine came up to around $200 not including the LEDs.

Awesome, thanks for the info. What a good company to buy from if they work with you like that. I need to sit back and see what I could design. Glad to know how you had them leave it clear, I like your white lights. Nice effect. Again what you did is pretty damn sweet! I likey much...

Awesome job.
If you have install pics you could do a write up. There are enough people asking on how to do this.

I went to BBEngineer website he has a how-to on there. I just used that it was fairly easy long as you know how to solder. But if anyone has some questions I will be more than happy to answer them
