    Whatever's cheaper, it'll be covered by coralline eventually.

    damnn!! i didnt think about that!! i went with gray $28 for both panels, not bad considering they are 47 inches long lol like 2 bucks more a panel for gray than normal clear w.e i think it'll look a little nice

    i went with 2 5/8 wide and like 4 5/8 deep

    I thought about getting something tinted, but I went with clear ones. And I think you got a really good deal on the panes.
    One thing though, when you pick them up, make sure the dimension, cause mine was way off, struggled with putting them together.

    Mine are clear also, and I run a black background. I think it looks fine.

    loading pictures up now


    i feel like such an idiot ! ordered the glass panels and i forgot the size i wrote down so i said 47 3/16 but when i get home it was 47 1/4 !! fail, on the paper i even wrote 47 3/16 is for more wiggle room, now i need to pray that when i call them early tom morning they havent cut the glass yet!

    Did some of your holes chip out when you went though?
