i usually don't plan ahead with any of my projects. i actually have no concept designs for this one yet. just a few sketches here and there. and work my way as i go along with the mod.

used a dremel to cut the mesh on the rear exhaust.

also did the same for the top panel.

after.

side panel mod part II:

i decided to add a few more accents as the original window looked too plain and dull for my taste

making guidelines for the cut.

here's me cutting the panel.

the finished cut.

side panel mod part III "side vents"

the original plan was to add some mesh for the side intakes. but after doing some sketches, i decided to try out a different idea.

i started with some left over acrylic pieces lying around in the shop.

"side projects"

while waiting for the powdercoated panels to arrive, i was bored and decided to play around with some extra stuffs i have lying around in the shop.

a spare xspc acrylic restop.

guidlelines.

the hacksaw is your friend...

sanding the edges smooth.

my original plan was to make a smaller version of this reservoir. but then another crazy idea came to mind. lol!

i decided to crack off the remaining acrylic pieces.

then i used a G1/4 thread to tap an inlet valve.

after sanding and painting.
