Default RE: I need ideas!

Well I have no idea how I would createa clear console trim ring, so I bought a small square of acrlyc (sp?).

I would love to have a flush screen in there but I cant afford that and I am trying to save up for rims.
Anyways, my idea is to customize the square where the stereo and pocket are.

I will put the clear acrlyc in there, NiteShade itwith an inlay of a honda logo,then make the stereo in the center, and put some leds behind the NiteShades. I cant really explain it any better.....trying to study for a math test soon! lol
If it all works out n' such I shall post some pics. Also wanna maybe paint the trim.

for painting options, look at duplicolor and alsacorp. Alsacorp has the best car paint in a can, but the price is pretty steep. I plan to do my emblems with duplicolor base and clearcoat with Alsacorp's ghostchrome mid-layer to get to a black chrome finish. They really have some crazy paints out there though.

I wonder if you could media blast acrylic. That would give it a nice frosted look with a glossy H in it. I would throw a 4" cold cathode behind it, not LED's. They just don't diffuse light well enough to give an awesome glow.

I will check out that paint!

Well I already have leds, I figured out that to diffuse the light you have to sand down the curved part of the led head! So after finals ill be trying it out.
