Thumbs up FB Lazer cut Center console plate interests ??

Hey you guys~~~
I was just wondering if any of you are interested in center console plates for your guages... precision lazer cut... I have them for the FD's and FC's however not for this model... I can definetally make them if demand is good.
Here are some examples of my work~~~




thanks~~~

Well those look nice, what do you have in mind for gsl-se's as far as design. Also how do the previous ones you've made mount?

I will make the necessary arrangement with him to accommodate the first gen group. But it would be nice if anyone can give him/me input on what you want on it especially on the 81-83 - panel in the original EQ??

thanks

akiratdk, if you need a sample of the face plate surround for the 1st gen. for fitment issues, wacky and i have a couple. those are really nice btw, and since you're local, we can just pick these up!

count me in if you can make one that will fit the center console for my 81...as it is a different design than the later 1st gens...if you can consider one sold to me!

man the one with the 2 holes and the rx7 logo in the middle, (far right of your picture) is amazing... Not to make it sound rice-ish but if you put a neon out of view from it you could have the whole panel glow a certain color and im willing to bet it would look awesome with 2 light up gauges =) I have an 85 gsl, if you are making these keep me in mind!

lol, two 1st gens that are the same... that would be the day...84 and 85 are same in the size of the hole i believe.

I would be interested if you could make one that surrounded the aftermarket 1 din style stereo head unit might give it more support.

What you think?

I would think for an SE you could make a double-din with the logo of choice on the top and the opening on the bottom. That would be oh so nice! Count me in for that **** for sure!

I agree with this, Im in for sure if the price is reasonable. Note my attached picture of why I want one, instead of the stupid space consuming piece of plastic
