Forgive me for not following this thread but I've had a busy week...

I'm not sure how you did that but it looks pretty good!

I have thought about something similar for a long time, but it involved 
cutting the letters out of the bumper and putting in an 
electroluminescent panel. Sure it means defacing your car, but it would 
be cheapish. (I'm all about saving money, as you well know.) Of course, 
those guys who want to be able to return it to stock could just buy a 
spare bumper from Their Favorite Vendor.

As far as "just making it glow", you could always hook up a sensor to 
your sound system and adjust it to a certain frequency range so that the 
word would blink with the bass. ;) Or hook up a simple blinker kit from 
Radio Shack or any electronics hobby shop... the possibilities are endless.

I know. Most of my ideas suck, but I share them anyway. Enjoy. :)
