Lol. Watch it Ray, I might put some white LED's all inside your engine bay to match your car!



I just sent an email out to a plexiglass distributer for a quote. Should hear something back tomorrow. The opening on the nikki is 5 inches, correct?

I can't believe he's serious.

Stu you can make one of those plexi tops if you want. Just buy a piece of 1/4" plexi from the hardware store, get one of your mom's dinner plates that the right size and trace a circle on the paper. Then cut it out with a jig saw and finish the edges with sand paper.

I'll leave it to you to figure out how to locate the center hole for the tie down.

Now can I have your stock blue top?
