Default LED Scrolling Message for Back Window!?!?!?!

hey, anyone see this month's issue of car craft? (i think thats the name of the magazine), . . . inside they got this little article about a LED scrolling message thingee for your back window and its wired through remote control so you can program different messages, . . . it had a pic of a van with a "Thank You" message on the back, . . i thought this would be kick *** to have, sayin thank you and stuff like "cute car" to ricers and what not, . . but the thing is . . the damn magazine didn't say where you could get one!? . . . not a website or number, . . . anyone know anything about this??? i went on ebay and found some scrolling message LED's and im almost about to buy one but don't know if it'll work through 5% tint in the back . . . . and feedback??

thanx

I've seen license plate frames that do it, but never anything across the rear window...

LOL I saw that too. I would get 4 (one for each side) just to have it say "Your stupid!" and I would use it everytime someone does something stupid. LOL But I think that would be a lot like the horn, you dont remember to use it until too late (or at least that is the way I am).

My brother was thinking about putting a scrolling marquee on the back of his Fiero, where the PONTIAC is. It sounds like a lot of work though.
