Mini update: Lids should be going out monday!
Meanwhile, just another video of our lids after post cure.... I'm pretty sure these are never going to break..... but thats just a guess... IF anyone has some other crazy test they want me to try, I'm all ears.. I'd love to find its breaking point...

all order shipped today- you can find your tracking numbers by login into paypal and viewing the transaction (except orders to canada and if i had to pay in person)
PS. ever buy a part and you're excited to install it only to find out its a damn allen key head?? (and everyone knows its near impossible to find the right allen key) Well no worries, we got you covered!!! open the package slowly as the screw pin and allen key are included behind the hang tag

Thats a good question... I personally believe it will hold up great. but thats my biased opinion lol (but seriously I cant see it wearing out)
but besides waiting a few years to tell, If you have and "test" ideas, id be more then willing to test and demonstrate....
would a buffing wheel on the surface illustrate that well enough for you? Assuming the only "Wear" the lid would have is the contact of your arm and a buffing wheels spinning at xxxxx rpm kinda simulates "a friction rub" ??? lol idk

There's certainly no question about the strength of these units, though!

I don't understand what you find so amusing? My statement regarding the effects of body oil and sweat on paint are legitimate. Sooner, rather than later, anyone who purchases your textured map lid is likely going to have to repaint it. My only intention in raising the issue, which I now regret, was to be helpful.

I just received mine as well. Packaging is awesome and I too made my niece's day.
Quality of the part is great. I have a good map lid and was buying this as a future part. But after seeing it, I'm mounting it and putting the oem in storage. Mine is going to require drilling the recessed hole out just a tad to fit, but that's a 5 sec job.
Top notch!

I received mine today and had to drill mine out also, 5 seconds worth. It fits well, definitely more durable, and the cracked lid issue is resolved. The cam improvement is another plus.
Thanks Benny...I love the packaging.

Haha Brian,
You crack me up! Your consideration and humor is awesome! The super feminine bag for the sticker, Bubble yum bubblegum (? haven't had this since I was like 5!), and to top it off... actual bubbles! Haha hilarious man, appreciate the kind considerate thought and effort you went to go buy all this stuff at the party store.
Like many have stated, the left hole for the peg is a bit small, perhaps for future designs a bit larger for that opening would be easier for those who are a bit technically inclined
Thanks again, look forward to any other products! My wish list is a Re-Amemiya style gauge pod that lines up with the opening lines of the blinker and windshield wiper controls and actually clips in to the bottom column cover!

Got mine yesterday. Awesome product. You are winning daughters and nieces hearts around the globe, lol. I noticed the weight and solid feel right away. Great product! Thanks for filling this great need.

Scratch that. It just came in today. A lot heavier than I expected. Feels super strong. If only the rest of my plastics were this quality. I just ran out of gum this morning to so perfect timing.

Make an assessment...

I'm actually dealing with this problem now. I got a Pettit gauge pod and cut the sides off, then I'm going to mold it to the top of a stock one. However, I'd much rather Benny made this next. Seems like a good follow up project lol.
