Cool tanker, pics when you do it please. By then I should be on to my son's mod.

Enab, yeah I suppose it's not really tied in, I chose black because the back of the cage is black but you don't see that from the front. Maybe I could draw some of the black into the side to make it fit like in this photoshop'd example:

Looks great! I love seeing what folks can come up with, especially when it's their first full modding attempt.

Not only did you throw caution to the wind and start right in to cutting, it's great how you used parts from here and there to complete the project.

I'm asking myself what is better: those red x's, or the Pink color? ROFL

Good job on your first mod. You should definitely add those black stripes along the side panel for the stars - as enaberif wrote, it ties the front bezel to the pink side quite nicely.

Thanks Guys, it was really fun to do it, especially with old parts, it gave them new life. I'm going to mask out the stripes and get on it.

Plus now that I have a dremel and a cutting under my belt I'm eager to get on to the next project.

Thanks for the feedback!
