If you have illuminated kick plates, leave dome lights off

It makes you feel so much better

Maybe it's common sense for most, but I just discovered how cool it is getting into a dark car with Z's lit up. I am trying to find more ways to make this car even more impractical - so here's my sacrifice of not being able to see inside just so the door sills have more impact for my passengers and I.

I know a few people that always just kept their lights off, always thought it was kinda dumb since you can't see... But I hadn't considered the allure of glowing Z's, I'll have to check it out

I love it..is cool..And if you do the DIY lights. you can change the color whatever you want

i usually keep the dome turned off on my hobby cars because i rarely drive them at night anyway.

then for more contrast...

Did you wrap the sills with the CF vinyl yourself? Looks good!

Thanks...now I'm looking at all sorts of carbon fiber stuff for myself. LOL I'd rather have a CF toilet seat then any CF on my car.
