Also, pro tip, use a bit of black electrical tape to cover any little power or status LED's on the TV, but make sure you don't cover the remote IR sensor! |

Thanks... Need to order t molding... I planned on going with light blue t molding.... i need 22' but see they come in 20' rolls.... that gave me the idea to do the sub zero side blue and the scorpion side yellow... and the cp half and half. I dont know if this would look bad and if I should just go all blue... any opinions? |

So speaking of "rule of thumb"...I think there is one when it comes to making a cab that looks like it can't make up it's own mind. Sucks you would have to buy extra rolls of t-molding but it is one of the lesser expenses. |

Yeah... thats why I asked. Seems like it might look good but would be offbalance and might end up hating it. But... Im wondering if I just went all light blue- that the blue t molding on the scorpion side would clash and look out of place. I could go black but thats not very exciting... theres always chrome but not sure if I want this cab "blinged out" hehe...... which leads me back to the half/half idea again :dunno Wanted to get the molding ordered today but might hold off untill its painted and think this through. Im still undecided on buttons and that will be a factor too. Planned on blue/yellow paradise led's just hooked up to 12v for price / simplicity sake. But those electric ice 2 rgb buttons look awesome.... it would add to the cost and make the build more complicated but they do look sweet..... If I went with those...then could maybe go with white t molding |

Patience is the #1 rule when building your cab. Your future self will thank you. Get your cab painted and order some free samples to play with here. |
