    Yeah i am jealous! I would love to have those seats in my pickup but it is ok i like them in the honda too. The honda has such great handling and with those seats it makes for an amazing drive.

    So I decided i really like the Hilux emblems and tried to find some on ebay. Nothing was available outside of AUS so i decided to make my own. What do you think?

    It is some super thin plastic that has adhesive on the back and i cut it out with a CO2 laser. I can do just about anything with the laser. It is how i made the insert for my shift knob, my hypertension plaque, and there is more to come. I am going to try and do tons of custom stuff on my truck with the laser.

    Nice interior work. I can't wait to see it slammed with the wheels. What kind of suspension setup do you have planned for her?

    I want to do a small notch in the back with lowering leaf springs and 3 inch blocks. In the front i will be doing a 2" belltech drop spindles, ball joint flip and a torsion drop to get it as low as i can with out bags or a body drop.

    I am hoping to get the interior mostly finished and even start on my door panels this weekend. I will order the lowering kit next weekend and hopefully the weather will be warm enough that i can drop it the following weekend.

    This is the front of the laser. It is completely enclosed for safety purposes.

    Here is the top. It opens up and i set what i want to etch inside and close the lid. Once the lid is closed the laser will etch a lot like a printer.

    I took the pictures from my office chair. You can see a lot of my crap scattered around my office. It is damn hard to keep it clean.

    It will cut through pretty much any plastic and thin soft metal. It is the smallest laser they make. I could cut through almost any metal if they were willing to fork out another few grand. Mostly i will be using it to etch metal and plastic and cut some plastic like the Hilux emblem. I havent decided where i want to put the hilux emblem yet. Oh I can etch any material like fabric and anything else.

    Ok here is a little something for Dgerfan55!

    [​IMG]

    This is etched into some really thin plastic and acts like a decal. I am guessing you are looking for something more like a decal but I will play around with it for ya.
