Quoted from BobC:Now on to installing the Zitt laser kit!
You won't be disappointed. Just installed the red upgrade a few days ago and it makes a huge difference. Makes for a much more enjoyable Klingon multiball for sure.

Quoted from J85M:Ok I have a basket full over on Zitts site, any other mods I should consider for my STLE? Is there a definitive ST mod list anywhere, tried a search so unless I am looking right at it and not seeing it, which is possible

Quoted from Bruce:I put mirror blades on mine, and new translite amongst many other things. Looks awesome!
Did the same as well! I even got the LE stainless steel speaker panel for my Premium.
Quoted from Bruce:Looks great!
I'm thinking of buying the speaker light kits soon. And have the vengeance interactive led mod on order from beatmaster
Recently added kbop and trough lighting kit from mezel mods. And cliffy's everywhere.
Thinking of getting a shaker motor also. What a great game to mod.
That's a good list. I have everything there and I can tell you they're all worth it. I held off on the shaker until recently thinking it wasn't really necessary. I was wrong. I can't imagine playing without it now.
It is a great game to mod.
Quoted from kapsreiter:steel looks always great
here is a Picture of MY PREM
Nice lighting effect on the translite there. Where did you get the speaker panel? Looks interesting...never seen that before.
Quoted from Bruce:Odd question but when does the skaker...shake?? I am strongly considering it but its the sort of thing that i don't know i'm missing.....as have never experienced it
You can adjust that in the settings. Not how much it shakes when it's on but rather how often it is used during gameplay. I keep mine on "maximal" use for ST.
Anyone else not happy with the look of the Hotwheels BoP toy and paint theirs?
Or am I the only one? Lol.
I just think the green/camo color looks out of place on the playfield. I'm happy with how it turned out. Now I just have to install Zitts wing LED mod and I'm set.
Quoted from Bruce:That looks awesome! I had considered painting as I had the first initial thought about the camo appearance, however when installed in the game and mostly lit from gi underneath I'm happy with it. Got to say though I would consider painting it in the future. Did you use standard modelling paint?
Thanks! I just bought some "dark steel" spray paint at Home Depot and a mat clear coat.
Quoted from Zitt:Did you paint before or after the body was modded/drilled?
I'd advice you paint after the body is modded so I don't risk ruining you awesome paint job.
Did you use any screen captures to come up with this paint job?
This looks pretty cool:
https://startrekstarships.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/special-edition-klingon-d4-class/
Yes, I did all the drilling and modding before I painted it. I definitely would have had to repaint it otherwise.
You're good! I actually did use the Eaglemoss D4 model as inspiration. Would love for mine to look exactly like that but I'm not that good. Still really happy with how it turned out though. I'll put up some pics of it in the cab.
Quoted from Zitt:I'm curious how mod-able the Eaglemoss is... so I ordered two.
One for my collection and one for attempting to do the wingled mod on.
Also ordered a JellyFish from the site just incase. Not sure if or where I can find a spot for it in my LE... but we'll see.
I thought the same thing but decided against it because of the size....apparently the wing span is 8 inches whereas the Hotwheels toy is 6 inches.

Quoted from mavantix:IMHO money better spent on a subwoofer if you haven't done it yet, ST sounds great with an external sub!
Absolutely. I was blown away when I first tried it. An external sub is great on all games but it's a must for ST in particular.
Quoted from Rascal_H:Getting a hum from speaker when holding right flipper. Noticed after installing ColorDMD. Anyone have anything similar?
Quoted from gunstarhero:I have a flipper hum on my left flipper, not as much on the right, and even before the CDMD. Just kind of assumed it was a Stern thing, as I remember my LOTR seemed really hummy too, although it was a different board set.
It's a Stern thing for sure. All of my new games (TWD, GB, ST) have some degree of humming from the flippers. One side seems to be worse than the other on all the games but it's only really noticeable when the volume is low.
Quoted from crwjumper:It's here!
Beauty....Enjoy!
Quoted from gunstarhero:eBay user pugsotoys5zpt... not sure if he's on these boards but he sells alot of alternate translites on eBay.
Yup...just got a TWD alternate translite from him through Ebay a couple of days ago. Nice guy.
Quoted from TimeBandit:Make it so..

Very nice!

Quoted from delt31:So my warp ramp chase light came in from mezel. I'm a little confused if this light goes underneath (or behind) the plastic or on the front of the plastic warp ramp itself? I would think the former but it's basically just a LED strip and the bottom has the adhesive so not sure how putting it behind the plastic would work as the lights themselves needs to be against the plastic.
Can someone confirm or share a pic?
btw - those update pop bumpers sold here look fantastic. HUGE upgrade thanks
EDIT - so I went underneath and used a little tape to make it clean. Problem is I don't have an open plug to plug this thing into. Damn - didn't come with an adaptor either. I wonder if home depot or some place similar will have an adaptor.
Looks like you figured it out but here is the link for the installation just in case.

Welcome to the club! Such a great game to mod.

Quoted from Pin_Guy:After playing on my LE, I honestly cant stand the pro for the above mentioned items. The PREMIUM and LE both have full RGB lighting for every insert on the playfield, this alone makes these games look like completely different machines.
I agree, the lighting alone makes such a huge difference. You just can’t make up for that with mods IMO.
Quoted from gdonovan:Attract mode. I have non-pin people tell me they could stand there all day and watch it... so it has the desired effect.
It’s mesmerizing! One of the best light shows in pinball.
Quoted from hoby1:Seriously though what perpose do all the RGB light do on every insert.
Really? It allows programmers the ability to code in a lot of really cool effects that otherwise would not be able to be achieved. Being so used to playing my Pre, I find it very difficult to enjoy playing on a Pro, which seems quite dull and poorly lit in comparison.
Quoted from hoby1:Then your not playing the right pro brother.
I’ve played enough of them, all modded in some way to try to make up for what is lacking but I’ve not been impressed. If I played yours I may very well think it is the best pro I’ve ever played, I don’t doubt that. Whatever floats your boat. Glad you’re enjoying your game.
Quoted from J85M:Ultimately that’s the beauty of Sterns model, different trim levels for different wallets and different tastes but at the end of the day it’s all pinball so it’s all good.
And if it wasn’t for zitt the laser feature would suck ass!!
This is true, including the fact that the laser definitely needs the upgrade. It’s a worthwhile mod for sure.
Quoted from Jediturtle:It's amazing how many people do not realize they can do this and it works great. I cringe every time I play one that hasn't done this....especially in competition. Glad it worked for you!
I didn't know that either. That'll save me a couple of tilt warnings every game 
I just finished making a plaque for my speaker panel. I bought the entire LE stainless steel speaker panel assembly for my Premium from Marco a while back but never got around to making the plaque to finish it off. I had bought the decal from someone on here a long time ago, which was originally meant for the coin door. Thought it might look good on the speaker panel so I just had to make the steel plate at work and painted it black, threw on the sticker and...wow - I think it came out great!
