I think Stern is making a smart move by selling this stuff. IMHO they should take the next step, and eliminate the LE model entirely, and just offer even more mods to create the "ultimate edition". So if you want the mirrored backglass and special armor and topper and all the goodies you can just order them with your game. Distributor can install them before they ship. Makes the distributor more useful.

I bet they'd make more money in the big picture selling the mirrored backglass separately to people than they do on the markup for the LE.

And it would avoid the awkward problem of buying an LE with special armor, and then having to buy the even "more special" armor to replace it.

So two models, Pro and Premium, and then all the optional upgrades.

Well, they sort of are doing that. You can buy a "Pro" which is really more like a "Premium" and add the beacon lights topper and the fiber optic ramps. But the LE art package will be exclusive, can't buy that, so it's half way there I guess. I do like that you can buy the things that actually interact with the game though, that's a good start.

Hey, good for Stern, I hope it's a hit. I hope the code is handled quickly. I hope it's a good game.

If people want a chrome look some reflective mylar would probably be a reasonable solution, and not expensive.

Nice, I love how creative that looks, I want to see it installed!

That's some nice work man, definitely took it to a new level.

Ooh, I'd only see the Ride the Lightning version, didn't know there was a Master of Puppets one!

I think it would look great. If you look at the LE gameplay video they still have the blue tape over the rails, and the red bleeding through some actually makes it look pretty purple, and it's a nice fit.
