The X looks a little tilted to the left(torwards the L), or is the thick part of the X a little lower than the thin part? Other than that and the 8, should look pretty nice when your done.

Paint it black, tape off all the black and sand blast just where it has the writing, that way the whole letter in each word will glow with the light on, also you'll be able to see it pretty well in the daylight too.

LOL even when you said it, it didn't make sense....but then Bad92GT said center console and i figured it out


Oh, and i'd definately use a more serious, less preschool looking font. Something more edgy like the 5.0 badge or the Mustang emblems are.

There was a kind of gauge cluster type of deal on the console that showed if doors were open and stuff like that....just about all of them suck now and actually sucked then and don't work now.

My car didn't come with a console though so i don't get to play with one

Yeah, but the best way to do that is with a sand blaster or some kind of chemical etching.
