Nice. Mine looked cool as well.
Eventually ill be switching to all clear plexi.
Whats the point of the plexi if you cant see through it. Just my opinion though.

I understand why every one does blue lights but I will be putting 7 color strip on mine.

Mine are white. They get a blue tint from the board I think. White I think makes the components pop better.

^^^^Exactly
...gonna do the same thing to my TI2 1000.4 and 1300.1
...I have a reel of the white and the blue smd 3528 led's ...will try both, but agree with Art as the white adds a nice offset and the blue pcb doesn't hurt either.

I am keeping the smoked plexi because if you put a frosted decal on the back it will not be all that visable with the lights off but with them on it should look like super bright and floating. How do you get the ends off?

There were 6 bigger Allen head screws on the end. The two upper middle ones hold the bars above and below the plexi. There are a few smaller allens next to the terminals as well. After the ends and bars are off there are smaller allens holding the plexi down. The Allen kit that came with the amp fits all the screws.

what ever happened to the dude with the home made CNC that could cut/etch the designs into the plexi? Where did he go....

I know people who could do it. The same people who do my ZPA plexi but im quite busy right now, and I owe someone one of those Plexis that I'd need to ship before doing any other projects.

there are all kinds of options that could put those amps over the top. I mean just think about how simple stripe around the edge could look cool. Or hell go crazy and get that PG phoenix. But get yourself a 7 color strip for sure some of then offer a stroby effect form the white lights and I can't see hwo that would not look cool
