Did anyone hack V8 lights to display letters/words? Possible?

Just wondering if you can make it a "rolling billboard". Businesses can take advantage of rolling messages or brand names ( not that you can read them) but would be a great hyper local publicity.Imagine a guy riding a rolling Starbucks light display just outside of Starbucks location. 

At the height of Segway, there were innovative ideas around Segway marketing. See below.

If you were actually planning on integrating a moving sign board into the V8, you wouldn't want the stock LED strips, rather you would want a signboard under the smoked plastic cover ... something like the boards from AliExpress (below pictured).  I really don't know if there is enough space for two of these on each side, but it would be an interesting project.

The first three look like chariots without the horses.  The fairing should have been an option,  even plain black I bet some people would have wanted it.

Too complicated for me. I'm a plug-n-play type!
