    I'll probably just use it for an exhaust fan, maybe two.

    Make sure the SA surface area of the opening is as big or bigger than the SA of the fan if it is smaller there will be restriction.

    The DVD drive arrived today

    And so did the logo.

    After cutting away the yellow....

    I was wondering, since this is a car theme mod, should I get one of these?

    Not a bad idea, but you'd have to chrome it...

    it might melt a bit, it is TT equipment so its plastic ;)

    IMO i don't think you should put it in, TT stuff is cheap and tacky ..

    Duh, I just remembered. The case has a piece of glass over the front, so you'd have to open the glass door then use the cup holder. I think it would look stupid.

    It's so not worth it.

    This is my concept for the top with the scoop. I haven't settled on what will be IN the scoop, but it would probably be illuminated exhaust fans and a different type of mesh than what comes with the Hood scoop.

    I fixed the edge of the stripe.

    Then I put the SuperBee emblem on the right

    I decided to add more black mesh to the right side to carry over the mesh look of the front.

    Won't is look even better if you put some tiny lines near the black stripes on both sides, to make look even more like the car??

    I'll be able to do one line on top of the lines, but that's all. I'm still debating if I'll paint them or use pin striping

    That logo you cut the bulk of the yellow background of looks a bit scragly around the edges. Is it really like that or just compression artifacts in the picture?

    If it really is like that you could go to a signwriter who can scan an image and
    make you one that only has the black and yellow where you want it and it would look factory stock to boot. Shouldn't be too expensive.

    It is a little scraggly(sp?) around the edges. My exacto knife broke, so I will fix it when I can pick up a new one. But thanks for the input. I like that you guys really scrutinize the photos, that way if I do miss something I can fix it later.

    I laid the stencil for which to cut the mopar grill. I’ll start on it tomorrow on my day off.

    I finally got around to adding the thin pin stripe above the larger stripe.

    I changed my mind on the Video card. I bought the 512MB DDR2 Geforce nVidia FX6600 PCI-Express card instead.

    The memory came today. OCZ PC4000 Gold (2x512MB)

    [​IMG]

    Should I add another pin stripe here? It'll only be a vertical stripe though.
