Its time. To MOD!

Just wanted to share. After 2 months of blood, sweat and tears (literally), I finally finished my V2 mods. 
Not an easy project at all! Lots of frustration, lots of errors, but the outcome is worth every moment.
Patience is the key word in this entire process. I learned so much from doing this (first time soldering, working with electronics, etc). For those that are starting mods for the first time, I promise you, read EVERY page in this thread and you cannot go wrong.
Big shout out to Cavx (Mark) and (Jedifyfe) Brad, along with the rest of this group, for contributing all your trials and errors, and assisting us noobs in a successful mod.
So happy to have a pair of these now! Just need to do the final touches (sealing with flex glue) and I'm off to give these wear pair their first test run.
Can't wait to work on the next pair ( cavx clear soles and cloneprop buckles are a must). Cheers!

Congrats on your mods, slowfinger33. Looks great! Be prepared to have random people taking photos of them, happens to me most times I wear mine - and I didn't even put EL in them

Thanks, I have already replied.
Different parts for left and right.
I will be doing a rubber ankle buckle with (a plastic reinforced insert for strength) the more correct shape than the factory part. I am however going to make it slightly smaller than the slightly over sized buckle from CP.
The block of machined parts.
So I am going to have to make both the front and the back of the bubbles to make a new master part that I can mold and cast. Due to the small size, I don't think the engineer would have been able to machine a "master part" from a solid block. It is just too small to be be held in the machine. So I'll make front and back and glue them together. Then mold and cast the new parts.
I figured I might as well have strap and sole lights made up for my GITD kits as well.
For right now, I need to get these new bubbles done, than get the new Heel cups done. Then I look at this buckle. The plastic insert I want to include is to make the part strong. I have torn the strap slot thing on my pair twice now. Lucky it super glues back together and hold up well, but to have a hard plastic embedded in the rubber would be better.

So are you making a mounting plate for the LEDs ? So that would do away with the stryen sheets wouldn't it ? (The part next to the ankle bubble cutout), also how's making a new mid sole going ?

Bubble - Not really. What I I am doing to recreate the three slots into the back of the part like the factory bubbles have so that those with LEDs have somewhere to place the bulbs. You will still need the board behind this.
Mid-sole - a work I progress. I think when I am done, that sand or kitty litter will be the best medium to add the texture to the master part. Sand is actually the choice because I can wash and dry that so it is clean on the parts. This way the Heel Cup will have the same texture.
Currently uploading a video showing how I make the decals.

The stuff I use is a 1:1 by weight. I am now buying this in commercial volumes (8KG) and strongly considering even buying an industrial batch (2 40KG drums with taps.)
You do need a vacuum chamber though. I have just upgraded mine and I am uploading a video that shows this in action.

Yep, go with sand, kitty litter pieces vary too much in size - I have 3 cats so I'm familiar with it
Although there may be different varieties I don't use - Home Brand clumping cat litter is much too big for texturing a midsole, see attached pic.
