    The star shift knob came out pretty sweet, I'll get pics of it later when I actually have my camera...

    Since I need to send my splitter to the laser, I decided to have some other parts laser cut as well. I made 2 sets of these... one without text, one with. Here are the ones w/ text:

                  We have a 3D printer at school that I've used before. Maybe I'll make a knob in solidworks and then print it. Maybe a dick head shaped one lol.

                    What kind of media are you using for the 3D Printer? All I have used was corn starch and sugar water.

                      Your car is an absolute inspiration.

                              Any way to get the license plate NOFXGVN? Since NOFKSGVN wouldn't fit.

                              ninja: I guess it all depends on your state and how many letters they allow. AZ for the record is seven on personal plates.
