Looks pretty good man, you got some neat ideas. Looks like you know how to do electrical too. How does that relay work for the amp?

i used the relay to turn on 2 amps(one for the speakers and one for the subwoofer) and the neon light when i turn on the head unit....just connect  the remote to the 86...ground  the 85 ....add 12 v.fused to 30 and split the 87 in three (one for each component).......cover the 87a  to avoid any  short...and add a diode between 85 and 86 to avoid  feedback..or that pop that some times you hear when turn off the head unit...that's it.....i did  it because i think the remote wire from the head unit is not strong enough to turn on three components....i heard is only 200 ma or 500 ma only.....and dont want to mess my head unit

It will but you have to drill holes in the plastic for the resin and glass to "drip" into which will give the glass a grip. Also, to help it hold you should scuff up the ABS plastic with about 60 grit paper to get any laminate/cleaner agents off of it. the best way to do it is scuff up all of the sides that the glass is going to make contact with, using either a 1/16 or 3/32 drill bit drill a bunch of holes in the plastic in a staggered nature like this:
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
That should do ya.
