Question plexiglass?

ok i have access to a decent amount of fairly thick plexiglass. i was wondering what kind of ideas youll had as to what i could do with it, as far as truck wise. i thought about putting windows on the side of my console and putting a neon or something in it, but there are so many wires that it would be ugly. i am trying to figure out something as far as a cover for my sub but that really wouldnt be seen.... sooooo.... how about some ideas?

it maybe, in fact i believe thats what it is, now that i think about it, its too flimsy to be plexi. (user text fits well again) damn on well its still clear and would work if i could find something to use it on.

The local junior high here has a computerized router that I am going to use on some plexiglass to create a nice image. I have heard lazers can do a better job and that some local buisness has one. Maybe you could do the same?
