thanks. it's the attention to details that makes the difference between a good built an a great one. (that an a talented team who will pay the same attention to detail. all it takes is 1 person to cut a corner and it becomes a fail) but those pics were taken during the build back in 14' (can't believe it's been 2 yrs) i do need to finish funding my BBK upgrade.. an maybe some interior upgrades and updates.. an of course there's generation 12 of the infamous "Ghost Lexus Emblem" but the problem is with the thickness of acrylics that can be laser cut w/o melting. so I went back to science class and found a material that may fit the bill.... Transpatent Aluminum (i kid u not Trekkers) it now exists.. trying to get samples too see how they react to the laser cutting. not too mention some super high strength epoxies that can successfully bond multiple materials simultaneously ,while still being sandable & printable. no one ever said it would be easy

yes I can pick any color and leave it static.. 5 different rgb controllers (for ea set of lights)so I can do any color combo...

Thanks alot.. i really haven't had time (or funds) for many mods this yr.. but as the holidays approach i hope to tinker a bit.. an that BBK is finally in reach... fyi the details make the difference (its always the little things) especially when you're building for yourself. most people never notice. the ones who do, get it.. if you're goingto do it might as well do the best u can...



to all the Transparent Aluminum has shipped!!!!!
