| I regret not shaving that bracket on the front, but it's only a coolant tank, not worth it. I did sand down all the lettering and fill the grooves. I left some of the underside unpainted and I'm gong to try to light it from there, but I don't know if it'll work. | |

I left the bottom of mine unpainted and used some led strips to light it up. The lights were bright but lit up the tank only a little, it was hard to see unless it was dark out. I used red leds though, maybe you can have better luck if you went with white. | |

I used red leds though, maybe you can have better luck if you went with white.[/quote] do you have any pictures of how yours turned out? I was thinking red leds as well, but maybe white is a better choice. I'll dye the coolant red, so maybe it'll work out. If not then no big deal, the viewing area is pretty small and towards the back anyway.
