I have bit the bullet and I decided to go ahead with my plan to put an Alienhead on the side of my newly painted Aurora. This head will have cut out eyes which look through to the inside of the machine and they will glow different colors depending on what light strip I have plugged in. It's early days right now but here is a quick pic. The Alienhead is made from a carbon fiber style vinyl sheet.
I still have to file out the eyes and make a nice big hole in the metal backing behind the plastic panel.
