Cool!

I am debating getting one of those 'Lexus' covers for my brake light. But than again people can see the badges!

i assume you took out the console taped it off and painted it? Or had a decal/vinyl guy make a decal for you??

Is that a plotter with the sharp metal points that's MADE for cutting vinyl? Or is it a plotter that had the colored ink tubes that you replaced with the vinyl cutter tips? What brand?
