well this is mine, i have been working on it for my design and tech major at school. Its almost finished now, all that is left to do is sound proof it some more, and wire up the neons. Just a question, for you guys who have done this before, where did you wire up your neons to? i was either thinking the power to the light already in my boot, or i was wondering wether there was another way? enjoy.
