    nice, i did the same idea, except i took a magfloat cleaner and glued the egg crate to it. Works great and dont have to worry about suction cups failing

    Lowes/home depot is the florescent light section.

    I bet you could find something similar at home depot or lowes. Look for those grates that they cover fluorescent lighting diffusers with.

    Like has been stated I don't know that I would trust suction cups to hold it. They will eventually go bad and the whole thing will come crashing down.:-/ Magnets are much more reliable IMO.;)
