    Been thinking the same thing...the mickey mouse lighting isn't good either.

    But I been think'n a little bit, once in a while...

    Been think'n bout wrapping all the foo-fraw up there in a saran type cocoon, starting at the front cross member, then stretch/cover that with some cheap polar fleece from w-mt...a couple coats of fibrglaz resin, some sanding/filling/sanding & a coat of heat reflective silver paint...voila! gots some areyo-dynamkz back...

    Yeah, it's true enough...I'll probably never bring this idea to fruition...

    but it's fun to dreem...

    almost forgot to add, it'd be a removable shell when complete.
