Default 2011 Xb custom led Maui

Aloha! First time post, 2nd Xb, first time custom work. Gotten some great feedback from the work and even a couple offers for side jobs on other cars, so I thought I'd share pics. Just got the front end done a week ago, still gotta do the back end. Used 2 foot neutral white on the headlights, 1 foot neutral white on the bumper inserts, 4 prewired led singles on the logo, and 2 in the engine on the top and bottom of the front cross bar of the frame. 20 plus hours with a dremel tool, semi-translucent 1/4 inch white Plexiglas, and a lot of patience to do the logo. Hope u like it! By the way, I think the new XB is great! Some folks are hating it, but I am loving it so far. Aloha!

Lookin good brah! I like the way you did the logo and the wheel "vents". I especially like that you said you took your time (always the sign of good workmanship). I do have one suggestion and it's not about the car; take your photos at early dusk, when there's enough light to get a good exposure of the car and still see the LEDs light up. A lot of the great car ads are shot that way. It gives the car a nice glow and gets a better focus, too. Can't wait to see the back half when it gets done.

Looks good man, and x2 on the different times to shoot it.
"Magic hour" is the best, just like he said, the hour between light and dark.
in for some updated pics!

Oops! Guess I can only put 5 pics on at a time. Here's a few more. First is with the brake pressed, second is just parking lights. Pops a bit more in darker lighting, but you get the idea. Aloha! Let me know if anyone wants to know where I got my stuff. I'd be happy to share.
