I decided to start a new thread as the previous one is a little messy and wanted this one to be clearer with better links and now a manual for those interested in creating your own.

This mod is an optional mod instead of the car which many people install, myself inlcuded, but I didn't like that I lost view to a small crucial part of the playfield because of the car. This mod is original in design but with the classic 50's / 60's car tail lights in mind but also had to house 2 x 5mm leds inside. The bullet shaped white light sync's with "Move your car" playfield insert and the red tall flat light sync's with "Parking ok" playfield insert.

Interestingly both these playfield inserts are visually blocked by the curly ramp so I am happy with how it now lets me know at what stage you up to in game play. This mod is cheap to expensive depending which parts you get from Shapeways - mainly the bumper (plastic to silver options). The manual gives you a rough costing breakup for anyone interested in purchasing the parts and making your own and includes how to make the wiring etc and hook up to the game. I can supply the led / wiring harness for a small fee of $35 - $37 AUD + postage (roughly $5 - $10 AUD). I am also happy if someone wants to buy a few and on-sell themselves - I just think it is a cool mod.

I am looking into getting some plastic bumpers plastic chromed and if this works I will offer the mod as a finished and complete kit ready to plug and play as it will be affordable under $100.

So if you are curious or interested checkout the Shapeways link and download the manual and contact me for the wiring kit if you couldn't be bothered making your own. Note: the shapeways link is for all the CFTBL mods / parts available.
