Looks good.. You can also buy tinted lexan thats already smoked. I have some here @ work i'll see if i can get a pic of what it looks like

^see, that's what I need!
You think home deopt or Lowes would carry that?

Wow the door came out really nice...
How thick of plexiglass did you use?

Looks good, but like you said it's to dark. More like a black door than a smoked one. I'd like to see the next one you are working on.

Maybe a couple of l.e.d.s mounted behind it would give it a cool look?

L.E.D's would be nice but kinda dangerous too.. any spark near the gas tank and kablamo!

I thought about doing leds n mine but I need 2 get tha door 1st, I don't then an led would give enough spark 2 make a flame but then again what do I know, plus I was gonna cover it n silicone

if your LEDs on on a switch and it off when your fueling your safe...and im sure while fueling your ok, LEDs are very low voltage. cool mod, may have to apply this to my box.

Greg Banks ran the super awesome expensive TRD fuel lid with some LEDs behind it for many years (he still might, but I haven't seen him since he moved to Chicago). The car utterly failed to explode from it. You should be just fine.

xBtony · 11-07-2008, 05:02 PM

^^^I was thinking the same thing..U checked e bay?

DemiGoddess · 11-07-2008, 05:39 PM

That is sliiiccck. Now I want to do one with a see thru pink door !!!

Stupid question, on the 08s the door locks, if I did decide to do a pink see through one is there any way possible to make it lock so you have to lift the lever still to get it to open

beanzermin · 11-09-2008, 06:02 PM

demigoddess, its the same with the 04-06's. they have the locking door too. so it would still work. just different shape.

DemiGoddess · 11-09-2008, 06:47 PM

Ahh I've only been in the 08 & 09s even though I love love love the older models. Someone wanna make me one n I will pay you lol..really.
