Hey, the hobby lobby and michaels by my house don't have any of the plastic, is there anywhere online you recommend getting it from or would you be able to send me some?

Here's where mine came from:

ORACAL USA : Products : ORACAL* 8300* Transparent Calendered Film

edit. Bought mine on ebay from a guy called paperstreetplastics. $7 for three pretty big sheets.

old thread I know, but still a great read. I did this the other day using a red Twin-Pocket Poly Portfolio that you can find at Staples, Wal-Mart, pretty much anywhere

and the result:

Good job !.... This is the way things can be done on a budget, why bother spending $100-150 on led when it costs about $5-$10 for this.... As well as a little time....good job again.....

Dude that's a great idea and totally awesome. I'm going to try that with my 2006 Monte Carlo SS. I saw how much it was to get the OEM Speedo in Blue and it was over $200. genius!!!
