nice video card,glad to see it works perfectly

Alright some things to discuss.

I got the temp guage.

I thought about adding it to the 3.5" bay but it'll probably look stupid.

Your thoughts?

The radio came too.

Now, at best my drive bay is almost 6 inches

. . . . . .but the radio from dial to dial is 7 inches wide.

I'm not really sure I can make this work.

It was fun to take apart though

If I can't use it, I would love to encorporate this logo into the drive cage or something. It wouldn't be something you could normally see, but it would be a cool extra touch

Lastly, I WILL be doing hood pins on top. I kind of have to make it look good with washers and hood pins. I haven't nailed down the final design just yet

[Drum Thumper]

That's a tough one on both parts. I'd consider putting the temp gauge in one of the 5 1/4" drive bays. The radio, on the other hand...that's a toughie.

Edit: What about making a base for this like you did with Project Hell?

[DonT-FeaR]

what about if you but the radio in the side of the case... like sticking out..... or yeah dts idea is good to... temp guage .... im not sure either....

the hood pins will look sweet btw good luck

[aintnothang]

That radio will be hot, make it work.

[TheGreatSatan]

Trust me, I sure as hell want to. Plus if I don't, I would have wasted $60!

The hood scoop arrived from Hong Kong, but it's too shiny

So i took some sand paper to it

And flat black paint just as I used on the side stripe

After about 5 coats

It's on top for reference, not actually mounted. I'm going to take a hole saw to the top for an exhaust fan under the scoop

[KiLLERMAN21]

Nice TGS, looks really sweet. With the exhaust fan on top, are you going to make soe sort of funnel for it? So the air flows through better? Anyway, it looks sweet, +rep.

I still think you can make the radio work, as a stealth cover for the disk drive anyway.

As for the temp gauge I think you could encorporate it into the bottom 5 1/2" bay and the two 3.5" bays. You could make a mounting bracket and use alu or mesh to fill the remaining bay space around the gauge.

The hood pins are a really neat idea and the scoop looks fantastic, whack a fan under it and you will have no problem with air flow at all.
