Nice job. But those shinny blue lights near a window are screaming "Come steal my G5!"

boioioioioioioioioioioioioing! Electroluminescent cheese grater = excellent. I was afraid it was going to look cheesy while the pics loaded, and it actually looks excellent.

I agree. Mate the lights to your audio output, post a no-cover-charge-for-the-ladies sign at the door, and charge all your dormmates ten bucks to get in. And call yourself DJ Smack Master Gee Five (Gee for short).

Oh man, congrats!!! The S4 is one great car. No need to mod it with funky neon lights either

It would be nice to get the clear G5 side from mac skinz, and drill it, and put LED's in the holes to accent the "G5" etching, but leave everything else relatively dark.
