My HVAC panel was shot visiually, I decided to see if I could make it look mo better...



While not restoration worthy better than what I started with  :yesnod:

I used Rowmark Laserlights and cut it on my laser engraver.  Its a decal like material that is thick (compared to a decal) but is fairly flexible.

I think the light will show through as well for seeing the text at nite.

Didn't you have a product for the Corvettes that you manufactured.  Wasn't it like a little NOS control panel using the same technology?
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

LOL, yep, Nacho found them on ebay, someone else had the idea first. Probably the same material I used for mine. 

I have not installed it it yet or shined the a bulb in it, but I suspect the lettering will show through (based on Laser Speed and power you should be able to leave a really thin "text" section that should be transluent enough to be visible...

Yep Mike the primary purpose my laser engraver is to sell GM guys ( 1998-2002 F-Body and 97-04 Corvette) Nitrous panels/Alky Panels to finance my Mopar  :yesnod:
