very true but for the most part the expense of coming up with the ability to make such a part would in no way be covered by the two people that would buy it. like this for example. All I had to do was pick up a dash for 25 bux, cover it in some glass, a lil balsa wood and some sand and I was on my way.

I always here coments like these. Just because you drive a second gen does that mean you have no money?
Including myself I know their are a few people that have over 15k in mods to their cars. I wouldn't call that cheap.

Im actually kinda planning on them comming out good... and getting one.
So make em look purdy!
One question tho.. Will the center gauge thing you added have hard angles like it does in the pics? Its kinda squared off...

I took the mold off and everything and I trimmed the edges and what not. I just need to do some prepping of the mold and some sanding basically. We had some chick quit last week and I had to work her shift so i lost my weekend so now I will work on in this weekend and hope to have a prototype by sunday.

aight guys looks decent especially not with crappy pics but it is over midnight here so oh well. Anyhow i just did a quickie trim on this thing and threw it in my car in the dark and snapped some pics but my car is dirty. Also like i said i could have done a better lay up but i needed to know where my trouble spots were going to be. Also the gel coat on the gauge pod was badly mismatched but it was part of the experiment anyhow, I didnt want to waste a whole thing of pigment on the proto. Anyhow here are some bad pics but it gives a better idea. Expect a real prototype this weekend.
