Looks great!

What did you use to create the space on the side panels so that light shines through?

I used a 1/4 in plexi on the bottom half and 1/4 in ply on the top half. Its sandwiched in, so the light goes through the plexi and it keeps the inside nice and dark. On pic 2, 4, and 12 you can see where the wood and plexi meet.

Here are some better pics of the CPO and Marquee. The black lines in the background were just render errors they are not in the printed CPO. If i was to do it all over again I would not put the lighter blue boarder around the outside. it was to much of a pain to lineup with the edge of the CPO (I cut like a drunk sailor.) I think it would give it a cleaner look.
