Thanks!

Quick update...........worked on the top panel. Almost identical to the bottom panel but I used a different grate for the center piece and decided to backlight it with some red LEDs. And instead of the clear tube on the bottom, I painted a scrap piece of pipe red.

I cut out a small area of the panel, cut a piece of white acrylic that I had leftover from another project, and mounted the acrylic to the panel.

I painted the grate because it came in a brown color, mounted it, then added the mending plates.

I made a small box out of foam board, lined it with tin foil, added some red LEDs, and mounted it to the back of the panel.

(Sorry for the distorted pictures, not sure why some of these are coming out skewed.)

Here it is with the panel on (it looks much better in low light).

[QUOTE="azheat, post: 500845, member: 1824"] Thanks! Quick update...........worked on the top panel.
