FAVORITE MODIFICATION
"Custom trunk floor setup using fractal burned wood and colored epoxy with "LEGACY" carved into it, and an RGB LED light strip. This setup is my favorite because it challenged me to do something completely different and new, and I'm very proud of how it turned out. My current setup is the second of this type of this setup I've done, and now I have a better grasp on the process."
