Not much of a show off, but thought some people here would appreciate this being as there isn't much I could find elsewhere.

So...I couldnt find a "240sx" decal anywhere on google or ebay to stick on a piece of plastic in the hole in my console where the radio was before it was stolen...so I got some plexi glass and an exacto knife and got busy. I hope you like it. It was outlined by hand, then scratched and etched with the side of the blade too. Took a few hours. ....and yes, I considered making the horizontal lines like the real badge....it was too difficult.

Attached are some pics showing some leds. not sure if i should put a metal, clear or black background behind it once it is glued in.

That's cool. Light it up with a white led though

follow your gauge lighting if you swapped it. Thats pretty creative, I thought about it but to lazy to put forth the effort on a cosmetic item
