Need pics. Sounds like a good project car. I did the full blue led replacement inside the car but went back to normal as the brightness was lacking for usefulness. The black in the bonnet looks hot, just look at brisbane boys ride as he has done this.

Those black ones are in fact Mazda MPS 6 rims powdercoated black, and they would indeed be hot
