When i first got my celi earlier this year and found out what its symbol was and i saw a pic of it I had this idea. This could go 2 ways in which one way I would mount it on the hatch cover and use it as another brake light OR use a circut that I build that would make the entire thing light up and pulse to the bass of my music(i have 2 12's in the hatch). Here are some pics of the board with the holes in it. It will have a total of 159 LED's and the color is up for debate. Lemme know what you think so far
Also if you want more pics just tell me i can have em up in a sec.    --------------------  |

Man, that's actually a pretty cool idea. I would do something different though. Depending on what radio your car came with, there is a little storage box beneath it. I would resize the board and mount the LED's in it, and mount it in place of that storage box, wired up so it comes on with the parking lights.

I think you'd have something better looking with electroluminescent foil (EL Foil) with a plotter cutted vinyl applied over it.
