    Once in a while some geniuses show up in our site. Very few and far between.
    Looks good.
    take care
    The question is: where you got the stencils from?

    Too few to list.
    Looks good. I remember doing glass etching in school a long time ago and we used a liquid chemical to etch the glass and easy and the etching won't come off.

    you could probably use a stencil and brush some etch bath, or etch cream and get similar results.

Other mods-full synthetic, carbon filter, de-badged, center console lock.
    What you do is you trace a stencil out onto masking tape on the glass, then you cut the masking tape out with an exacto knife and blast away with the sand blaster. If you have a lot of detail/fine areas sometimes a lil rubber cemet helps hold the tape down and can be removed easily later.
