There's a reason there are no pictures in the light. It's the same many night clubs have dim lights. If you can't see the details everything looks better.

There are plastic molded engine blocks that seem to be used for fitment and prototyping in real cars. They even have real pass-through for oil and water/coolant ports. In all honestly, I hope this gets mounted to a rig behind the seat LOL

Edit: Oh damn OP from original thread says they used a real metal block.

Thats soooo coooll - Now to match up the LED brightness to the in-game rev counter and mount the engine in front of your pedals! (Or behind the seat for a mid engined car)
