Let me be the first to tell you that you will hate the red LEDs. My son did his ZR2 that way and you can't see crap! Try and read something by those red lights, can't do it. Oh, and BTW, you may get hounded by the Police if they see them while driving down the road. A buddy of mine got stopped quite a few years ago, he was told that red lighting was for Police only. I know, I know, sounds petty, just sayin'.

Plasti dip emblems, that's a new one on me. Don't get me wrong, I aint hatin', just sayin'

willt, thanks man, i think the title is good haha

hotrod53, thanks for the heads up but when im driving it wont be on and i dont plan on reading with those lights. Also plasti dipping the emblems is better than permanently painting them black and cant reverse it when i want the chrome back

Lol if you get blue LEDs and have both on while driving and a police sees you = pull over and fix-it ticket.

if you have anything blue or red lights on the outside of the car, in many states, seen by a cop = pull over.

It depends where you live cause I drive with mines on at night and police have seen me with my lights on alot, I even go through a police station daily and they have yet to pull me. but thanks for the advice

UPDATE:

Just got my spoiler and fogs installed.

I bought both from ebay and they are horrible -.-

reason: the fogs that i bought off ebay are good but the switch is too long. My car originally have two holes for us to install stuff but when i got the car, a bluetooth switch and traction switch was installed there so i have to cut a hole off the panel and install the hole. little did i know there is another piece of metal there, so the switch that came with the fog lights cant not fit. i have it in for the mean time but its sticking out a lot. Im looking for a shorter switch so i can switch it out later. But it looks good!

for the spoiler, i also got it off ebay and everything is good but the thing is. in the daytime, the colors match, at night or in the shade, you can tell that it is another color different from the car. Also the spoiler is a bit bigger than the trunk so it does not fit well. Right now, in the middle,there is a gap :/ I called the guy where i got it installed at and he said water wouldnt go in because its bolted on.

What should i do about the spoiler guys? any suggestions?

damn that sucks pics please? I bought mine off of ebay and didn't have any problems at all installing, although i noticed some of the 3m tape is starting peel a little bit, but its bolted down anyways. A few other guys bought their's off ebay too and I believe no one had any problems either.

ill post up some pics when i get off work. but i think the problem im having actually is that there is not enough tape. I plan on getting some double sided tape and reinstalling it and make sure that all gaps are sealed.
