So what is the verdict for my first improvement of my ToM do I spring for new ramps and plastics or the full LED kit. The plastics I have now are in very good physical shape yet after cleaning they still look their age. LED's look great in accent areas and the back box. Just wondering what you all think would be the best ascetic improvement for the game led or plastics? Thanks in advance for your opinion!

I've been monkeying around with LEDs in my TOM. Does anyone have pics of what they've done (if they are happy)?

I'm still reassembling my ToM, but I'd say LEDs if your ramps aren't destroyed...

LEDs do all of the good stuff like knocking down power draw and reducing head and stress.

But, that said, they also make games look very different. Clean and new ramps and plastics will look a game look cleaner, but LEDs will make a game look different (in a good way!)

led's do look great on TOM , but if your ramps need replacing, i would do that first

LEDs for sure. They complement the game very well.

leds, prob one of the best games for them.

LEDs if your ramps aren't broken. If you haven't gotten the LED patched ROM then you should get non-ghosting ones for the controlled lamps.

Obviously if you ramps are broken and not functional, get new ramps first. But if was a decision simply based on esthetics, new plastics versus LEDs, LEDs will make a bigger impact.
