STOP IT STOP IT :( I am so frustrated. Just jking, that look awsome FRD. That trachyphilia looks great under those actinics. You can see the florescense of the rim on that is it a monti above what looks like a trumpet or candy cane. I can't wait to get setup and rolling.
What is that in the back left top corner FRD?
