ILLUMINATED STAR INSTALLATION INSTALLED
I think that would be a good idea. I plan to insulate the wire at some point. I have it zipped tied where it will not move but I still think its a good idea to add some type of protection. I will do this at a later date.Hopefully it gets darker soon
One comment regarding the black ground wire. It probably could use some protection where it goes through that hole in the frame. I would put some type of rubber grommet in that hole to prevent chafing ...

Rudolph Benz.
I am surprised that I like it! Thanks to @derkunstler for the great install notes. If I ever want some exterior bling I'll know how to do it! I'll confess I did buy Ali plasti-steel round vent covers, so I am not a bling snob. Also, the $45 Imac hood bra is tempting compared to the terrawagen deflector at $150.Yea, no. Like the reindeer. Nose so bright?
The Moped is a 1978 JC Penny Pinto, manufactured in Austria by Puch and Kromag. Puch was a sub division of Daimler. Daimler made mopeds in the late 60's, 1970s and early 80's under the Brand Puch. I got a Daimler to transport my Daimler made vintage mopeds and books. It's pretty neat.Certainly leads with the brand. Almost overshadows the style of the moped. Too bad the Usps doesn't have a light up eagle. I get Amazon deliveries at midnight on Sundays from usps. Rudolphing the postal van would sure align with their old creed.
A switch would be nice. I so want it to change colors. Red for the holidays. Flash to the bass. Mood ring type awareness. Sync with the horn. Color code fuel level so when you unlock in the driveway you know if you need to fill on the way. Interior temp for those with remote start. Heart beat. Strobe at kid pickup. Opposite flash of hazards...

The haters have been in very small numbers but there are a number of factors involved that are specific to the situation. Location, disposition, physical appearance and more.We clearly run in different circles. I've had no haters. Mostly people want to know how to get one.
Might get you more haters, but I think the lighted star suits you.

I love the star and yes I do agree, it suits the van quite well. Lots of people ask about the van all of the time.
I thought I'd paint the bumper when I first got mine, but now 6 years later I'm glad I didn't. My front end has small 'rock dings' that aren't visible 6+ feet away. I see many painted bumpers will all kinds of debris damage. Though these bumpers do require some 'plastic restore' upkeep.For what it's worth, with unpainted bumpers, the grille can't be removed.
I like the unpainted bumpers so much that I replaced my painted bumpers with them.
