I would side light those letters instead of backlit. It would make for a more uniform glow rather than a hotspots. Other than that looks good. Any pics of the Lit ones on a truck?

Strip across the top, strip across the bottom. Both pointing vertically so they are firing into the letter edges. Prob save a ton of time in soldering/LED assembly too. Or a flexible strip that curves around the letters but the same basic principal.
And I thought you've done these backlit before? No pics of those?
