    Great idea on the freezer plastic sheets however, that panel in the back is for heat transfer to the air in the freezer. It would seem like covering it would reduce the cooling in the freezer and add more work to the cooling system.

    Like the puck lights. And here is a quick mod for your rear bumper caps. A couple of stainless steel screws in the side of the caps or use hitch pins. You dont want that stinky slinky waving to people as you go down the road.
