First, let me say I am not a sign maker.....but I am a woodworker and I have a friend ( my guitar teacher) who is wanting me to help him build a sign for his business. He is researching the sign requirements/guidelines in town where we live. He discussed wanting to figure out a way to backlight a portion(his business name and logo) of the sign. I was wondering if there is a way to have a "wrap" (like the ones you see on vehicles for advertisement) made and applied to something like acrylic. Wondering if that could slide into a groove in the front of the sign and then backlight with lights installed in the lower and upper areas of the sign?

Tons of questions and ideas, but don't know what might be practical and what might be a disaster waiting to happen.
Thanks for any input.
