Nice work Dude. In regards to your " trick of the year " with thinned body filler, I think your a bit behind on this " trick" seeing that it's been used for the past 5 years or longer in our neck of the woods. Regardless, nice design on the FJ Cruiser and good use of the neon lights as grills.

My postings are not a competitive event. There is a lot more to the “trick of the year” than thinning down the body filler. The finer details of this process is what lets me work circles around a lot of guys that are attempting to do the same thing. I am not the inventor of this process and neither is any one ells posting here. Body shops have been doing this for a long time now. My point is that people need to know more about this and more people need to be doing it better. I am here to share.
You can never know to much!
That’s why I love this stuff.
Velocity motors, loved your thread, and loved the magazine article.
Also in my first posting I forgot to mention that Scott, my head wiring guy put a lot of effort and quality work into the FJ as well. Gota give credit where its due!

We heated and bent the plexi rod our selves. Then end lit them with LEDs.

Give my regards to Scott as well seeing that the end product is very clean and something that I would have done as well. Great to have you aboard this forum and hope to see more of your postings in the near future.

Are those PVC elbows on the end of the Plexi Rods on the grill? How was that accomplished? Quick description would be appreciated. I think it is a great job and clean install. And old tricks like the bondo resin mix is never out of style to mention. Keep up the good work fellas.

Yes those are PVC elbows glued to an ABS plate. Body filler blends the pieces together.
For more info on how this lighting is done check out this thread: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=91728&PN=1
