A little bit of that silver pinstriped onto the frame in some free hand curly shapes could really set it off

Re: Rc bus
Speedy that's kind of an odd looking bus, what other styles do you have there?
Looks like windshield is probably only curved on 1 axis, so it should be possible to do that part with just a heatgun

Re: First attempt at lights
From the 2a rating of the switch, i'd guess it's got big transistor or tiny relay. I would think you'd still need a current limiter put on there to keep the led from getting a tiny bit brighter for...
