you could even use some air solenoids to maybe say open your side of the case with a swing arm and

in the process use co2 and have it squirt out of the modified windows squirts to make it look like nitrious

airbags would be pretty damn sweet. do they make them small enough though? would be pretty neat to have it so that when you start the system it lifts like an inch or two and when you shut down it lowers again. maybe even a little underglow? i like the CO2 idea also. very

Nice find for the LED lighting... fits in very well
