Anyone else do the Magic Marker Mod as discussed in this thread?

I just did it, and though I haven't seen it in the sunlight yet, I think I like it.

Basically, I just used a black Sharpie-brand fine point permanent marker and colored the silver areas and circuit traces around the IR sensors. Then I used the edge of a small pad of note paper as a straightedge and colored some of the edges of the front of the VFD to cover the silver bits in there (being extremely careful of parallax for the viewing angles).

Now, with indoor lighting, it's nearly impossible to see anything but the VFD through the face. I wonder what it's going to look like in the sunlight?

If I get the digital camera I want for Christmas, I'll take pictures for the Riocar.org site.
