etching/frosting plexiglass?? Help!!

[momuzykent 10+ year member]

I've been reading forums for awhile but this is my first post. I fg two 10's in in spare tire well of 92 acura legend coupe and built false floor for amps and crossovers. On the top pieces covering false floor i am going to have plexiglass to show off equipment. My questions is since my amps are sealed i want to cut logo's out of plexiglass on top of the amps to avoid having to add fans for cooling.

Suggestion on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have the logo cut out above the and add lights(neon's or led's) that will light up the edges of the logo i have cut out. All suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you want it frosted or do you want the logo cut out? If you want frosted the above mentioned method will work. If you want it cut out your best bet is probably to have it done on a lazer engraver.

I would like it cut out and for the edges to glow with neon or led's

laser work may be your best option for cutting. If I am not mistaken polishing the edges after it is cut will give a good even glow on the edges. I am going to be doing something like that within the next week or so. I'll put some pics up if you want to see how it turns out.
