leds

lol funny for you to mention that i was definatly putting leds in it and since i dont smoke i thought it would be cool to put a custom switch in the ash tray and be like BAM!! (after i flip it open and then flip the switch) see i got like 50 blue leds and my friend gave me his underbodys for free so i figured i would do something different. *note to self dont call anything that is plastic plexiglass when its acrylic * lol i will hope to get some pics up tonight but probably wont have the leds in till late night if i work at it when i get home....

how are you going to make it so you dont see through the clear and see all the wires and ugly stuff? put a peice of black plastic behind it?

I've seen kids use those book covers in middle school and high school as well.

Definitely sand down the back side of the plexi-. Even if you tint it, the light will not be caught by the glass and you'll just see points of light instead of a solid glow.

Get them up on a cardomain site, or a photobucket, or webshots...something to that nature. Then from there you can post a reply and drop in your url for the pic. Just use that icon that has the mountain and the yellow sky w/ the sun. Preview it to make sure you got the right addy and you should be good. If you don't want to do that, just email them to me at stud176@hotmail.com and I'll post some up for you. I want to see what this looks like! It looks like ZRAPTOR57@AOL.COM would help you out too....you have choices man show us whatchu got!
