We use a urethane plastic and paint that is UV resistant.

Anybody have a cluster hood, in as close to flawless condition as possible, they're willing to let me borrow for a few weeks? I'll start on modelling the hood so we can deliver them as soon as possible, since it's apparent that everybody wants one.

Firstly, I'm very glad you're undertaking this endeavor

Secondly, you're at the point where you'll need to consider a vendor account here on the forum. It's pretty reasonable, inexpensive compared to most car forums. PM me for more details please

The part is live in our shop!

The price includes shipping and you can expect things to ship out within 1-3 days of being ordered. As we fill orders we'll work on other parts, and we're open to suggestions on what the next project to complete should be. Currently, we have the visor dowels and door triangles on deck and progressing. We'd also love to hear feedback about the parts - what you like, what you would change. We want the community to be happy with what they receive, so if you aren't we'll do our best to make it better! Thanks for the continued interest, everyone. Stay tuned for more updates on what's to come.

Ps, the coin holder/center console piece is definitely a front-runner for the first big part.

MattGold was kind enough to trust me with this '94 cluster hood and bezel - he also sent visors! Somebody send that man a case of beer.

Currently working on getting as many scans as possible to start work on developing '93 and '94+ finish cluster hoods. Is this what everybody wanted to see?

You produce 94+ LHD cluster hoods and they'll make a bronze bust of you and put it in the lobby.
And Matt should sell me that extra when you're done with it....top dollar.

First time posting - I'd put myself on the list for 1 or 2 of these covers.

I have a NIB 93 finish center/shifter panel you can use for scanning if desired.

Options some members may want to see:
- remove buttons, 1, 2 or all 3
- version moving AC controls from AC panel to shifter panel
- version that includes place for Apexi Power FC controller

These mods have been done in the past and threads can be found on the forum.

They're available for purchase on their site:
Cruise Control Blank ? Niche Motoring


Mine just showed up the other day - quality piece!

I have enough on my plate currently, but I'll definitely consider it in the future. Thank you for offering!

We're working on the front door triangles. Not sure what plastic you mean exactly, but the door cups are an option we will explore.

The visor dowels are proving to be quite annoying - they're so small it's hard to actually create a surface that will bond well and keep them from separating in the future. The clips wouldn't be too hard, but I'll save those for another day.

This is a good idea. A simple piece that cleans up the console. I'll look into it.

Just for fun, we mocked up a plug for the cigarette lighter. Any thoughts on this?

Would be cool if it was even larger diameter-wise - and hid the entire ring / sat flush.
