Thanks for all the kind words guys. Spooky's tutorial is right on the money. I build all my own LEDs doing the same exact steps he does. (Awesome dio by the way) I make my LEDs in 1.5mm, 3mm and 5mm varieties, I also use resistors to make them compatible for 3 volt or 9 volts (based on the space available in the vehicle) or compatible AC for standard outlets for dios. The only difference is a few added steps in making my "engines". I dremel out the engines and a spot for the switch, make  frosted "lenses" to cover the lights,   then use a combination of 5 to 6 leds per engine to achieve the desired effect. (different colors and flash rates to get an effect that looks like an intense afterburner.) It's hard work at first but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Every install is different and presents new challenges which it's always kinda fun to me.
If any of you don't want to hassle with building LEDs, I build mine in big batches and sell loose LEDs and kits, switched and battery straps should you ever need some. I also take commissions, which is what all of the vehicles I've posted so far are. Sadly, I don't get to keep any of them But the real fun to me is the install, anyway.

Here is another plane I forgot about.

Work is really boring this morning, so here are a bunch on ground vehicles I'd thought I'd share. I won't do multiple views as that would take forever, but you can see more views and angles on my flickr account.

First is my Ecto-1, I won't post a picture as that won't due it justice. You have to see the video. It was my most complicated install.

I put a engine kit in the back of this batmobile like the ones used in the raven.

[wraithnine]

very nice F-16 Fighting Falcon

Wow, I loaded up the Tube video for Ecto One on the front page and plugged your Tube Channel. Very nice work. We are primarily a SW Site, but as you know we just love good customizing period and you sir fit that description perfectly. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[Spookymufu]

I'd kill for that Ecto 1, that thing is awesome, what does something like that cost?

I also liked that Batmobile a lot.
