Everywhere that I seem to look doesn't seem to have the high-tech or muscle car feel.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've been looking into this sort of thing myself, and have settled on a few different ideas.
For the lights on the sides of my console, I am using 1968 Olds Cutlass marker lights. Nice stainless surround with a white lens.
My door will have "entry" lights that go in the door panel, but aren't seen as they are on the bottom of the panel.
I was also thinking of adding rear floor lights by attaching some under the front seats, angled to light the rear floor.
As for door "safety" lights, a red light so oncoming traffic can see the open door, I will be molding in 1969 Olds Cutlass rear marker lights as they feature the "Rocket."
Lastly, Billet Specialties makes some nice billet interior lights. I won't be using any of these as I am trying to avoid billet in the interior.
Shiny Side Up!
