  • Door reflectors

    ok I DID search, and nothing came up on what I am thinking of doing, so here we go.

    I am as of yet deathly afraid to pull off my doors though i know it is inevitable. Heres my question.

    What is behind the reflectors in the door?

    I am thinking of either:

    A: getting schenko's pontiac logo overlays, and lighting them up somehow, or...

    B: Mounting tweeters in them, or..... and I just thought of this.....

    C: Mounting a component set in the rear doors using the reflectors for the tweeters, AND putting the arrow overlays in the front doors and illuminating them.

    Any of this seem feasible??

    Re: Door reflectors

    What I was always thinking of was wiring some sort of LED behind those reflectors or replacing the reflectors with an actual light of some sort... and tying it into the automatic light circuit that has the lights come on when you open the door. To much work for me though

      Id say go with choice "a". Schenko's overlays for the door reflector would look really good. And if you could find a way to illuminate them, that would look even better!

        Re: Door reflectors

        My buddy wants me to do it so when you open the doors, there is a red strobe thats starts flashing, but that may be a little overboard.

        Likewise, hes made custom saturn badges, for his Vue RL, that makes the red in the logo light up red, and the word saturn, and the rings light up in white. maybe I should have him do that for the doors cuz that might actually be sweet.

          I agree. This would definitly be a real eye catcher when the door is opened. And if your friend has done it before with his car, then you should have him help you. Id say go for it!

            I was thinking that but I didnt wanna be to ricer, ya know.

            Now depending on how black schenkos overlays are, it might look hella cool with just the arrowhead flashing

            Now if I only had money

              Re: Door reflectors

              I want to light up the reflectors too. I already have the overlays. It shouldn't be that hard, if you know what you are doing. I say give option a a shot.

                      Re: Door reflectors

                      Some kind of light would be pretty cool. I think a speaker would be next to useless because of where those reflectors are located.

                        Damn, see, the overlays look sweet! You really should give lighting them up a shot! And I don't think it would look rice at all.

                          TY
                          I'm thinking about trying that, but the 6 is kinda back burner at the moment, mod wise.

                          Besides, I've never been good at wiring and lighting, so I'd have to call in someone to come help

                            I figured if they were black tape they wouldnt be promo'd as vinly overlays. Besides I have like 10 miles worth of black tape, and I wouldnt need schenko. But i do need her, so when i get somemore money from selling my comics, I will a number of her products and go from there. I have lights, led's and strobe laying around still from when i had my 180, so that shouldnt be much of a hassle either.

                            Thanks for all the input/help guys! you all ROCK!!
