Default Put on your thinking caps.

I think if you use a chrome plated flautant shield they won't detect the other changes. :cheers: :seeya :rofl:

Don't forget to use the same paint you use on your reproduction flux capacitor.

Laughing is not an option, grab a wrench, push yourself away from the midget strippers, and see if you can help break something.
