Hollywood Heat
Gottlieb, 1986I saw a photo a while back of a Hollywood Heat at an expo that had a custom "Miami Vice" translite. Was this a custom job, or is there a place to purchase this? I would really love to swap my current, faded HH translite to the awesome Miami Vice one. Let me know if you know a source. Thanks!
That was a custom translite done by mikeatsparkys in Orlando. http://www.villagebbs.com/forum/index.php/topic,20233.msg169569.html#msg169569
Quoted from HFK:You should make a post about what you are doing with another Hollywood Heat.
Ha! Maybe I will. Expect a new thread to start this evening 
Guys, the chick on the right was really hot! It totally went with the over all cheese look of this pin, which for it's time, was a very good machine.
Quoted from Schwaggs:Mike, your machine looks awesome! Really pulls the 80's cheese together!
Haha thanks! I amped it up with the teal powder coat job. No need to be subtle with a HH.
Quoted from mikeatsparkys:Hey all. Yeah, that's me. PM me and I'll shoot you over a download link to the print ready art. Here's a pic of it.

I need to find a Hollywood Heat and do that to it. If you ever want to sell let me know. looks fantastic.
I have a Hollywood Heat in great shape all around, especially the minty translite 
My HH is really up for sale if anyone is interested; pm me.
Quoted from root:Anyway to get the images of the translites? If not, how much would it cost to get one?
See mikeatsparkys post above.

The OP's question about the Miami Vice translite is answered in this thread (here's a link to the specific post: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/hollywood-heat-miami-vice-translite#post-1363293). If you decide to go forward and print out the image after you've got it, there are a number of threads on pinside where people talk about options for printing translites.
If you're looking for a copy of ninjedi's translite you'll probably want to contact him directly since he says he had it custom painted.
Quoted from northvibe:GTA Vice City would be a cool backglass as well.
If I had this machine, this is exactly the way I would go with it.
Quoted from ninjedi:I've got a custom painted translite for Hollywood Heat as well...

That's looks like something out of a Daniel Clowes comic. I love it!

This is wayyy off topic, but how bad ass would an all Daniel clowes art pin be? If I was a billionaire I would sand down some old beat up EM and commission him to paint whatever he wants on it.
The original is not so bad. The chick on the left makes it ok with me Crack whore on right, meh, I guess there is a reason she was axed from the menage a trois.
I had a Hollywood Heat and the original was pretty bad. An art rendering of the same image would have been better.
Quoted from Luzur:Well, i amde one myself for my own Hollywood Heat mod plans (just gotta get hold of the game first LOL)
Make one for me!

Nice. I just played this recently and I liked it. We recently had one for sale locally and I didn't get it; now I wish I had.

I sniffed one out here aswell, but it is still unsure if the owners wants to sell it, so im going for a trade deal, as soon as i get something good to trade him with (which should be this summer).
Quoted from Rondogg:Make one for me!
Haha, just use mine.
hey all anyone still active on this thread that happens to have the original image? i tried PMing mikeatsparkys but no reply
