I got the idea from Opr8r's bB, decided to get some acrylic crystals from Michael's arts for $3.29, some 3M double sided tape lying around.

i would rather have the bb logo, just my preference

 

How did you do the AC vents like that?

 

Damn you! You beat me to it. I was going to use black stones for mine though.

Loving your ride, nice to see a tastefully done TCM. The mercedes idea is a good one.

Predictably, I want the lowdown on that AC mod. Did you just paint it, or is it some crazy process that takes a week?

 

I would prefer the bB badge also, but if you like it thats all that matters. I still think its a cool idea but not on a Camo...

 

what next? you gonna go buy a bedazzle and do your seats? lol

 

You def need now some **** carpet and a disco ball. I bet it looks cool in the sun. its not for me, but it looks good with the black grill. I Gots to know about the ac mod

 

I like it! Looks great. Its always great when the DIY pojects come out like a diamond! :D

 

I got bug guts in my Scion emblem...

 

Sid, I would prolly use epoxy instead.

I like it!

-THE DON

 

great job, let us know how you made the mod to the ac vents, outstanding

 

you all know i'm a cheap guy, so please don't be surprise and bag on me on how I did it.
part/s: 3/16" diameter alluminum pipe from Ace hardware/ or Hobby shop.

first, I curved it the way the vent is curved, I have to stuff it with fine sand so the curve is smooth. the pipe is soft so take your time to bend it or else it'll dent.
When I got it to the desired curve, I cut about 1/3 of it from the inside using dremel. it is very hard and dangerous holding it while cutting it with the dremel. if I clamp it, the pipe will dent. note: possiblity of getting cuts if you did this, but I manage to do it.
after I cut it, if you look at the side it would look like "C".
I then flatten the end part with flat screw driver to look half oval.
I then polished it to the point its closer to mirror finish.
then inserted it in between that vent.
then polish it again.

Drawback:
since theres not that much space on that vent, its harder to move it horizontally, anyways I never move it, its alway pointed straight.

 

this tape will do. its made out of weave fiber with glue on both side. it gives me hard time to take the crystal off when i try to allign/move it.

 

like this?

 

^^ like the button seats..tight

 

how about this
