Hello! I have a two-part question pertaining to the following Tiki Sign and would appreciate any help you can give me.

Part I:

I love this sign with the exception of the face of the tiki...it's a bit cheesy for my taste. I want to change it and put my own design on it. It looks like the design is printed onto it...is there some type of remover that I can use that won't destroy the green plastic but will remove the original design?

My other option with it is to completely remove its plastic insert and replace it with a new one. I actually did this before when I customized another light box and had to cut it into the shape of an oval. I used a hand-tool for this and not an electric one and it wasn't that fun. If I have to go this route which tool would be the best to use? I've been wanting a fancy router for some time but haven't gotten one yet.

**Part II: **

This sign is so cool because it's like an old Tiki Motor Hotel sign. The word "TIKI" lights up with each individual letter then it flashes the entire word TIKI at the end. The movement is very fast. However, my Tiki Room has more of a mellow feel to it and the sign is a bit neurotic for full-time usage. Is there any way I can change the wiring so that I have both options? I know very little about wiring. I suppose I could take it into the Home Depot and ask them. It won't be the first bizarre question I've asked them.

~ Thanks! :)
