damn xxl you da man. Here's what I was thinking about the chains. I like the look of the chains and my ride is going for the hawaiian theme. Here's my plan for them.
Find some clear rubber tubing (I used to use them for my beer bong in college...those were the days
) one tube larger than the other. I would sandwich a piece of aloha shirt fabric (one matching my future interior) between the two tubing and figure out how to seal the tops so that no water can get in (probably some clear rtv or something).
