Way back in the day, (the 90's) PPI had a kit for their Art series amps that used water to cool the amps. We installed a couple in customers cars, not really sure how effective it was, but the bling was kickin. We dropped metal flake in the water and lit it up, pretty cool.
Ever thought of using liquid nitrogen?
I know a couple of pc modders that use it to cool video cards and processors

I'm with Pete. I say go with the big knife switch and the high voltage, Jacob's Ladder, Frankenstein movie, BZZZZT thing. You could replace the wind deflector with it (and probably make your hair stand on end as well!)

Hmmmm....metal flake sounds like a really good idea. My only concern would be clumps. Do metal flakes clump?
That would be a major no-no, as it would clog the pump, and spring a leak.

As mentioned earlier, liquid cooling came out about 10 years ago (96 as I recall) from PPI. Bazooka copied a few years back and there's been numerous cars in the IASCA and USAC lanes with custom setups ever since. Here's my old PPI setup from '96 to '98... http://www.damnloud.com/wade/amps.html

you could filter out the flakes and put them into a colored solution.
Just look into how well the pumps are suited for particle-laden fluids. I'd hate for you to fry your trunk with that.
EDIT: Hey look, I hit the four year mark today!!! WooWoo.

Dave -- seriously. find out what you can about the pump, and i'll do the homework to tell you whether it can handle solids or not.
trust me, when i'm not being an EJ or a Dad, i'm a Machinery Engineer. pumps, turbines, compressors, etc. -- how they function, failure analysis, etc. -- those are my bread and butter.
