Tron T-Molding to go blue, light blue, or purple

[stan2323]

I know the original T-molding on Tron is black leather texture.  I have seen Tron’s with purple T-molding on the internet.  Long story short I am thinking about putting blue, light blue, or purple t-molding on my Tron cabinet.  I would like to make it somewhat unique and give it a slightly different look that someone who is not well versed in arcade games would not notice.

What do you think?  I am going to run this poll 7 days and see what you all think.

My vote is for black. I don't think you want the T-molding drawing any attention from the eye - the attention should be where it belongs - on the beautiful artwork. Why do you want to make it somewhat unique? Do all your friends have a Tron or something?

No none of my friends have Tron cabinets.  I want to do something that will set off the artwork.  I think that a different color t-molding would do just that.  I thought about red or bright red but that would not go with the joystick handle.  Blue I think would go great with the joystick handle.  I am also trying to think of a way to light the spinner blue maybe from underneath like ground effects for a car.

I think you're going to find many more purists than renegades. I personally agree with TheShanMan

That is what I expected but I am beginning to think there are many more that do not care.  LOL.  This thread has been viewed 167 times.  Even if each person viewed it 4 times, when a new post was made, that would mean there has been about 40 people view this thread, I think I am under guessing a bit, and only 15 have voted so far.

I ordered samples from T-molding.com and when they get here I will place them on the cabinet and turn on the lights.  To see what they look like.  Then I can get a better idea of what it will look like.

i'm one that doesn't care...it's your cab...& something like t-molding can _easily_ be modified...
hell...get all three and swap them out every couple of months...!

I agree with fixedpigs,  T-Molding is probably one of the most easily changeable decisions that you can make on your cabinet.  It is also not a very inexpensive one.  I ordered 6 or 7 samples when I was deciding on a color.  Put them on the cab and then made a choice.  If I woke up tomorrow and decided I hated it, I could order up a new color and have it changed out in a few short days at minimal cost.  No tearing down the cabinet, rewiring, or anything major.  Pull off the old, put on the new, a few minutes work and its done.  Save the old T-Molding and change it back if I want at a later date.
