    After seeing some threads about the new fester and the Jurassic park mod thread so I decided what would be the coolest mods on a game you've seen and what would be a cool mod on your game.
    share your ideas and thoughts

    Custom shooter rods. *cough*shameless self-plug*cough*

    #3 11 years ago

    Never really had the thought of putting custom rods on my games may get one for my taf
    I'd better start looking. But when I went to a arcade they had a taf kid, broken shooter rd don't know how (strong infant) and the operator used a garden hose tap for the shooter Ingenious (not) .

    I think Eli's ramp lighting mod for Tron is going to be the best one ever created for pinball.
    I would like to see a pin where the playfield could rotate 180 degrees to bring up a completely different playfield. Mount another board with different roms and let the player switch back and forth from the adjustments menu.

    Bill ung's AFM LED mod and the Tron Arcade mod - best Eva

    #6 11 years ago

    pingulp!!!! dammit i need to get some...

    #7 11 years ago

    Gumballs in the TZ (though simple) adds such a great look! Color DMD displays as well!

    #8 11 years ago

    Tron cab is by far one of the most impressive mods to date.

    #9 11 years ago

    i think the speaker light kits from pinballtoppers is up there.

    #10 11 years ago
    Quoted from pinball_customs:

    Custom shooter rods. *cough*shameless self-plug*cough*

    Do you make a rod that has a tornado as the handle?
    Would look sweet on my whirlwind....

    #11 11 years ago

    TOTAN Sword Topper is up there too.

    #12 11 years ago

    STTNG laser cannons

    and of course FGY STEWIE PLAYFIELD STICKERS

    Sorry could not resist.

    #13 11 years ago

    the fiber optic star twinkling backdrop for a TZ. That still the best one i've seen. The Tron arcade is pretty damn awesome too.

    #14 11 years ago

    LED lighting. the color combinations are great.

    #15 11 years ago

    I will second the ung saucer kit for afm. Perfect and looks like it belongs.

    #16 11 years ago

    Doesn't really count since you can't get it yet, but I really think the lcd mod another member here is working on for creech is going to be the bee's knee's

    #17 11 years ago
    Quoted from pinball_customs:

    Do you have a web site?

    #18 11 years ago

    Tron Ramp lights from Eli.
    Tron arcade mod.

    #19 11 years ago

    Tron arcade mod gets my vote. Over the holidays we had a lot of people over playing our machines and everyone was blown away when they saw the mini cabinet.

    #20 11 years ago

    *COUGH*powder coating*COUGH*

    #21 11 years ago
    Quoted from scylla:

    Do you have a web site?

    Ignore. Figured it out.

    #22 11 years ago

    Original fester is one of the most cool and elegant mods out there. Haven't seen the new one. Every other mod for Addams is gaudy BS. I really think the tron cab and fiber lighting are great too.

    #23 11 years ago

    pinnovators headphone jacks

    #24 11 years ago

    Transparent backboards for AFM and MM.

    #25 11 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    the fiber optic star twinkling backdrop for a TZ...

    Oh yeah, that's a great one alright.

    It's my understanding Tom Wible has hung it up for good as far as making this mod.

    Would love to see someone take up the cause for the hobby (for TZ & STTNG):

    #26 11 years ago

    Deadworld mod in JD and new holo in CFTBL.

    #27 11 years ago

    Medieval Madness has some nice mods that I've seen.

    Lighting flashing mod for the background.
    Magic Merlin figure with light up crystal ball (this is a must in my opinion).
    Blue moat with bright LEDs.
    LEDs throughout the cabinet looks really nice if done well.
    You could count the color DMD as a mod I guess.
    Trolls with light up eyes. Or custom painted trolls.
    New light up dragon for the dragon ramp that is really bright and flashes.
    Catapult toy with a light in it that rests near the catapult shot.
    Knight toys near the joust lanes.
    Archer toys on the slingshots.
    Custom damsel miniature in the castle tower for damsel save.
    Repainted castle.

    Of course lots of people don't like to touch a MM. Personally I like the ones I've seen with tons of mods on them. Magic Merlin makes a huge difference.

    Beer Tap.

    #30 11 years ago
    Quoted from SuperTurbo:

    Medieval Madness has some nice mods that I've seen.

    Lighting flashing mod for the background.

    I have it and it is awesome.

    Also have a LED strip that goes under the catapult plastic that I very highly recommend.

    #31 11 years ago

    I don't like mods unless they look as good as stock or better, and I rarely think that is the case. I'll give props to a few though:

    Bill Ung saucer kits
    Iron Man Monger chest light kit

    In both of these cases, when I got the machines, I was surprised to realize that the stock machine did *not* come with these standard. The RFM kit looks like it is missing, and the Monger looks so dull without the mod done on it, but looks amazing with it done.

    Beyond those two mods, the only other mod that I got but haven't even installed is the real airplane blades for Tommy. I don't know how I'll feel about that whenever I do it, but I don't care for the regular ones and it was $8. Nothing else I own has any visible mods. (Not including PinGulps and the DMD shields.)

    #32 11 years ago

    Thought if what could be kinda cool for any kind if pin eg for iron man
    Put a subwoofer inside the helmet
    But thinking how the heck would I hook it up

    I've put more mods into my Scared Stiff, than all my other games combined

    1. Dancing Boogie Men
    2. Skull Pile LED's
    3. Flickering Flames
    4. Glow in the Dark Bones and Claws
    5. Red acetate over Boney Beast Eyes (Simple but extremely effective)
    6. Eyeball Shooter Rod
    7. Backboard Decal

    The Dancing Boogie Men is my favorite mod, but it was supposed to be there but got phased out in production, same with other mods like the lost plastic on Indy. I think the greatest aftermarket mod will be the LCD screen replacing the hologram on CFTBL, a real game changer, as well as the Pinbits LED kit for the speaker panel if it ever gets done

    #41 11 years ago

    Mirror blades are pretty cool especially black mirror ones.

    #43 11 years ago
    Quoted from NM:

    TOTAN Sword Topper is up there too.

    That is an EPIC topper mod!

    I also like the propeller for the IJ biplane.

    I have seen the LED strip under the catapult, that is a cool mod.
    For best I would have to go with the Bill Ung saucer and hallway mods.
    Frystack Robbie and the Tron arcade cab are up there also.

    #47 11 years ago

    (LOL) burger king and pinball my 2 favourite things

    #50 11 years ago

    One mod that you rarely see mentioned is the Bigfoot spotlight mod for White Water. It's one of the most clever mods out there, and it seamlessly integrates with the game.
