Thanks for the responses everyone!
Pickguard and truss rod cover were both a 2 layer coverage with Krylon MAXX Hammered textured spray(2 layered so it shimmers at different angles in lighting), Truss cover is actally a piece of a flame abs car flame emblem sprayed as well with a 3rd layer to seal it.
The other pieces of the same emblem were layered with a another car side exhaust abs emblem, another layered Krylon Maxx hit - plus a classic V8 hotrod emblem left chrome to stand out from the black. The Pickguard also used another exhaust emblem left chrome to stand out. The 2 Mad Max metal emblems were just bought off Ebay.
While I don't really tend to use a thumbrest - I used a ABS car door bumper protecter(The natural "lip" in the body made it easy to mount). If you look close at some pics you'll notice static cling vinyl stickers layering underneath (Just bought a big clear page of it and exacto knifed the outlines I need, and stuck the 3m backing tape to it)- This was done so none of the mods damaged the finish while I continue to evaluate their locations.
And thanks to a fellow Talkbasser I bought it from - This is an Epi Classic setneck with the Gibson pickups(Gonna chrome them later), also Hipshot bridge, Hipshot ultralite tuners with clovers, a Detuner, and Loxx straplocks.
I bought all the car ABS parts from clearance from Walmart. So any extra weight was negligible. This Phase One of "The Fury Road" based off of my love of Mad Max - Single connected Chrome flame fret inlays on the way, as well as another abs car emblem bullet belt to paint and attach. About 30 bucks of parts and paint, 2 weeks of planning, and an afternoon of work. Will for sure post pics of Phase Two. And of course Phase Three...Learn to play without the benefit of Rocksmith 2014
This is my first such project - so Thanks Again for the responses!
