    I might install it towards the bottom a little more Mav, kind of like a floor runner in the back....

    Nice, am curious as to how you do that. The part where it went wrong was the side where it enters the plastic lamp cover. The cable on the side went off and it pulled the whole connector out of the plastic. If you can mount it with a big stapler to the plastic it will be great, I dunno if it possible though.

    I might seal the wires, by putting a piece of automotive tape underneath the wires against the plastic, stick the wires to the tape to hold them in place, then put more tape and a grey piece of plastic over the top of the tape to disguise it... I think I have something I can make to make it look more hidden... :-)

    I'll post pics of the placement on my thread...

    im thinking first on where i should put the LED strips. well i got the idea! hehe

    something like this wood frame http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...lat-load-floor with dividers at the middle for the weight distribution, then the LED strips in the side of the wood then on top is a smoked acrylic!

    Great idea of mine but i dont have the tools hehehe! like an illuminating floor!
