Wooo Hooo! I am starting or started about an hour ago. I am just doing the basics right now like figuring our how large to make things and how to shape them. I hope I can get some film for my cam so I can show you guys and get you all and start wanting to buy my parts.

Today I am doing a single guage pod for a 52mm guage and the S-AFC holder that replaces the ash tray For now I won't be doing CF because that is hella $$$ but it is no different than Fiberglass cept for the look and strength/weight advantages.

One question though: Do you guys want the S-AFC to be visible all the time or I can make a lid that lifts up and hides away nicely. I will make my final descission based on your replies so let your opinion be heard.

I will be interested in buying a S-AFC holder/ash tray replacement. I think it would be nice if there was a cover to it, that way there would be less chance of it getting stolen.

How much are you going to be looking to sell these at?

Definately a lid to cover it...maybe you could make a lid that's detatchable for those who like to have their things visible. I'd rather hide it though if not .

 

Well I am not sure on the pricing but I would say 45 or 50 is a good starting price. (just a guess though)
If you all want CF it will cost more. That is for fiberglass.

Yeah I need to find some tiny rails to set up what I want for the lid.

Could anyone help me out with a hing design for the lid. I had one idea but I can't maintain the survature of theStereo suround with it.

 

have the lid slide back ?







hi, yeah make it slide back or something, on an arch or something.. that didnt make sense.. i know what i mean just having a hard time explaining it.

 

well my plan was that the lid would pivot on hinges and then slide back into the radio surround. But to do this I have to have the lid be flat. The stock ash tray lid is not flat.

Good Luck, I hope they look nice

 

hide it

 

i say defintly make a lid for it, that way you pull off a little more sleeper look.

 

yeah I just need to figure it out. Would you all mind if it was just a velcro lid? Or do you all want a tilt and slide lid? The latter is going to be hard but I can try.

I wanna buy an safc cover/ashtray replacement thing for my safc II.. Let me know when ur done please!

 

I will I am trying different types of molds first I may have one done in a week and a half. The main problems are the mold and the hinges for the lid.

Santiago

 

How about a slider that went up santiago? With the lid being curved i think it should blend in decently with the curve of the stereo surround. I dont know if you've ever seen any of those coffee tables with the lids that lift up and pull back, because thats where i got the idea from .

 

I don't know if you all will get it. But that is what iI had in mind. I can't really do that right now though.
