I was just wondering , how would you engrave on plexiglass logos,emblemes etc? Do you guys do it yourself send it out ? If you send it out, where do you send it to, and how much do they charge roughly? I.E is it per logo or size etc. And also how do you guys make a engraved logo light up? Is it by drilling a L.E.D into the plexiglass horizontal with the plexiglass? I just want to say in advance thanks for everyones imput. Plexiglass custom engraving -- posted image.

Alright man if your pretty handy with a dremel tool, this is fairly simple, fairly.  Alright leave the paper stuff on the plexi, print your logo out  "has to be more 2d than 3d though" alright glue your logo to the paper covering the plexi.  Get out your dremel and trace out the logo with the dremel cutting into plexi, probably about and 1/8 of an inch or so.  Then when done pull paper off and voila, if you want to add lights make sure the last thing you do is pull off the paper stuff. To do lights use your dremel and dremel out, a little hole in the side of the plexi like you said to shine horizontally across the plexi. Here is a link to a place that does it for computers its not car interior but its the same concept. Oh and ignore the pic of what he does it of, its the only link I could think of. Also you will be using a dremel instead of cnc, unless you have access to one which would be awesome for you. http://www.metku.net/index.html?sect=view&n=1&path=mods/router/index_eng

Thats a good article but very unfortunately I don't have a cnc machine. I've tried doing wat you were saying along time ago n its very hard to control the dremel. I ended up wasting some very expensive plexiglass. But thanks realitycheck i really apperciate your input.
