I had this idea today. I want to get some electroluminescent sheets and cut out the letters to fit in the rear bumper so that the letters can be illuminated.
Does anyone have a cad drawing of the letters? Someone must have it because so many people are selling those laser cut/water jet cut stainless inserts.
I think I could get these cuts to cut the sheets for me. http://electroluminescence-inc.com/c...gnServices.htm

Seen it done before, but can't find a picture.
You could use the Rustproof font and scale it up to match the bumper letter height and then covert the file into a vector image?

Can you get sheets of the stuff and just cut it yourself? I would be interested in that.

I decided to use white EL wire to outline the stainless letters, looks better in daytime than flat EL panel.

Did the same thing by cutting out the letters, gluing red plastic behind with a neon tube on a switch.

How did you run the power lines to them? I assume you drilled small holes in the bumper.Originally Posted by Dangermouse

I watched a few videos on YouTube about it and it looks like cutting it yourself leaves the layers exposed to the elements.
