GI: Illuminated Rear Name Plate - Page 3

miracleman89 · 10-31-2008, 02:34 AM

Well don't go to fast I still have to buy some stuff to get mine up and running! First things first, you know how that goes!

jazzcornet · 10-31-2008, 03:00 AM

i'd pay good money for an indiglo "turbo" if you can fathom a way to mount it to the 94+ center panel. that would be the icing on the cake for my car!!

and if you could make me a custom one with green LED's instead of the indiglo to match the rest of my car, i'm sure we could work out a nice carbon fiber trade

SnowRocker88 · 10-31-2008, 02:21 PM

I had an idea for my project, and I think you'll like it too...

Use a relay and two-color LED's (or two sets of LED's, one in whatever color, and one in white) and make it to where when you go into reverse they will switch off the astetic color and switch to a bright white for a reverse light, for those using 94+ brake lights and a 91-93 center... If that doesn't make sense, let me know. I know I suck at explaining things...

Tycoon788 · 10-31-2008, 11:16 PM

i'll wait for a TRD one

ben, can i get some pics of the turbo plate in green LED's please? I'm just kinda curious as to the font of it (not that it would affect our agreement)

countyboy3188 · 11-03-2008, 10:51 PM

These are very nice! Its pretty tempting to get one but the nly thing i got to decide is weither or not im keeping the stock tails or going for the 94+ when i paint the two.

The turbo plate is still going under some final revisions. I don't have a pic of it in green, but here is a cell phone pic of a prototype in blue:

The font is meant to replicate the stock turbo lettering.

mr2boost · 11-06-2008, 03:17 PM

Well, I haven't posted, for this just is not my cup of tea. But, I admit it looks REAL GOOD!

I really like the turbo font, OEM looking. NICE work pal, keep it up!

NJMR2Fan · 11-06-2008, 07:39 PM

You should all order one of each or your favorite two and then swap them when you feel like a change of scenery.

Thanks Daniel! The OEM look was the goal

The turbo plate and TRD plates should be getting finished up soon

miracleman89 · 11-07-2008, 01:45 AM

I think using a chinese style calligraphy font would be stellar!

chicagoisonfire · 11-07-2008, 03:16 PM

oh man... I need a turbo one in red :-D

Davis · 11-07-2008, 11:57 PM

Alright guys I have to say, Ben did a terrific job on these! OEM quality for sure!

Ben · 11-08-2008, 12:05 AM

Thanks Davis! Post some pics when you install it

djskorch · 11-08-2008, 01:11 AM

i would HIGHLY consider one if you made them for the 94 and up.

metheores · 11-08-2008, 02:02 AM

Why? this is one of the few reason's why the 91's are badass

djskorch · 11-08-2008, 02:21 AM

well i personaly like the 94 lights better but i think it would be a great customization to have a lighted center.

Ben · 11-12-2008, 11:11 PM

The revisions to the turbo and TRD plates should be getting finished up soon. I still have about 6 MR2 plates left if anyone is interested in them.
