    Excellent bro!!! I love what you are doing with the saw! I guess having a word with straight edges on all the letters is a HUGE help, but your cutting and creativity on the use of the X is really inspired!

    Good work, subscribed and (like everyone else) I cannot wait to see this baby progress!

    Thanks for the feedback........just hope Maxit like it :)

    Was working on two cases today in between paint drying so managed to get the window cut.

    Basically masked the side panel up and marked the shape followed by cutting it out with a jigsaw. Once all the edges were filed and sanded down, masked them back up and sprayed the bare edge yellow.

    While that was drying stuck the obligatory Nova black out window film to the plexi and stuck that in place with double sided foam tape........lovely jubberly :D

    Progress pictures.........

    That's just beautiful, but if theres something to notice about (i think you have seen it), it's that grill.

    Those screw holes are not straight with that X, but i dont think it will be so visible.

    Its not the screw holes its the X

    The Maxit font Humanst521 XBd B is not symmetrical so lining the holes up couldn't be done - having said that its getting fastened down using black dome head hex bolts so won't be so noticeable once in place.

    The X on the GFX card is the same.

    Well spotted

    @ greensabbath - they are Spear & Jackson Eclipse 71-FS5R (18TPI)

    Never read, or even heard about "Maxit Mag" but I'm going to find it...
    For the main Maxit, the grill under the black frame is a really nice touch and even though the colors are bold and could of made it looks like a "construction site" mod.. it doesn't and the vinyl was a great way to ensure a smooth and even finish, much easier than spray painting...
    Great so far, keep those updates coming!

    Hey cheers for the great feedback - thanks :thumb:

    Haven't managed to cut any more X's but have got the Stealth GT240 installed along with the freshly polished grill which all went together nice.

    Stuck the M,A,I, & T in place with Araldite using a bit of masking tape as a guide to keep the letters straight so now its time to start putting the hardware in and plumbing it up.

    So here's the updated pictures for today and my apologies for going a bit over board but it looks nice :D
