Default my little DIY diffuser project

well with all the really cool looking diffusers out there i thought of an idea to have one for under $100 with mounting hardware. i know theres plenty of diy and so forth out there about this, my intentions are a cheap alternative that is cosmetic and can very easily at the owners discretion and imagination be an actual track tool.


im not gonna spill all my beans yet but i already have the main piece (the actual diffuser) and now all i got to do is figure out 1)good mounting points and 2) what i will need to make this happen.

what i will say is that so far i have only spent less than $70bucks, so i might be well under my$100 goal... and no it doesnt look like a kindergarten paper-mace concoction.

once ive figure this all out i will post everything including where i purchased this said diffuser,what hardware to buy and so forth so everyone here can enjoy....hopefully i havent gone into something i cant finish, ill post teasers 2morrow
