If any of u guys have suggestions on how to keep plexi scratch free i'm open for suggestions.

What about cutting a piece of that clear 3M bug guard to fit? Then when it gets scratched or hazed, you can just pull it off and put a new piece on.

+1 thats what I was thinking, sort of like they use tear offs on race cars!

I wonder how ricey a small white neon would look in there to throw just a little light on it at night...

ha i did that already once, well tried to anyway, bought some from here http://www.xpel.com/, but my brother and i tried to put it on and pretty much sucked at it, we thought it would be as easy as putting tint on a regular window but it wasnt. I'm gonna buy some more and have a professional put it on next time .
And tonto, a little light would look sweet at night but i dont know how much of a rice factor it would have

that is sick man. i like it alot, good job.

did you do that window thing yourself? if not where did you buy that..

i had a local glass shop in my town do it. First time he did it and he did a good job. He looked at me like i was crazy when i told him what i wanted to do

AWSOME! That looks very nice man....definatly original . Im sure you could replace the plexi down the line anyways were it to get smashed or scratched...but the 3M stuff is a good idea.

Any issues with fogging up like after a rain or when the temps are MUCH colder outside than the inside of the engine bay...or vica versa?

thanks man, and yeah when i washed it on monday because it got all dusty and birds pooped on it , the inside of the window fogged up a little, but by the time i was drying it, the foggyness had gone away. It actually looked kinda cool fogged up though.
