Some installed pics may help get people's interest up.

Bump for a good guy, and hopefully a future vendor!

and some close up pictures to show nice lines and smooth surfaces!

anubisx99 · 11-01-2009, 11:03 AM

cool, the pics of the 1st install (and step by step instructions) will be up thursday or friday since the mold is in the process of curing and production of the pods will begin by the weekend so, please let us know if you're interested so we can start looking on becoming official vendor

Looking forward to the pics/pricing... Let me know when you're ready to become a vendor.

frownonfun · 11-01-2009, 12:52 PM

looks awfully cumbersome... where would that thing go? or should i say, what location did you guys have in mind for this pod to go?

*tk-421* · 11-01-2009, 01:19 PM

This pod goes right on top of the steering column. It gets mounted on top of the glovebox behind the steering wheel.

Best of luck

that is correct

it goes above the steering wheel column, the way we made it also is for all of us who use that compartment wont loose it

, so after you install the pod holder with all 3 gauges you still have the compartment available..

Nicely done!

Will you be able to offer these painted? I'm guessing most people would prefer black or dark grey... You could even offer glossy or matte finishes if you want to go all out

anubisx99 · 11-01-2009, 02:43 PM

well as of right now we're going to make them in a already black tinted plastic (almost the same as the interior) we figured that was a more general color that way painting is an option, you can just install it right out of the box keeping it black or just painting it the color you want... depending on order we might do them in different plastic tint, that way there's no painting since it'll come the color you want them...

*tk-421* · 11-01-2009, 03:53 PM

OK I'm a bit confused... I thought you were making these out of fiberglass? If you're using plastics then that's a whole different story...

Or maybe you're just referring to a plastic "finish"?

kac · 11-01-2009, 04:05 PM

Can't wait to see finished product/installation....

anubisx99 · 11-01-2009, 04:48 PM

the finish product can be made out of either fiber or plastic, the thing is making it out of fiber will take longer because if we pour a lot of resin in one shot the resin will crack (trust me, that's why it has taken us so long to figure out on what to make it) and it can also brake the mold that was very expensive to make, also as I said before the plastic we are making it out of has a few advantages over resin:

1- won't crack easy on fabrication
2- can be made in color (some limitation of color apply)
3- more resistant
4- no paint require (unless you want to paint it in a color that's not available)
5- less time for individual fabrication

and that's just a few of the things, but just wait for the pics next weekend.

thebarber · 11-01-2009, 05:05 PM

interested if the price is right....whats the range you're looking at?

Sabretooth · 11-01-2009, 05:08 PM

I say just go with the higher grade plastic, pending it doesnt jack the price into the $150+ range.

anubisx99 · 11-01-2009, 06:19 PM

well gents that's the best part, the actual unit will cost no more than US$120.00, shipped to all US, international is available but we'll have to see and calculate it (plus 3% if paid by paypal), it will have tracking # and delivery confirmation...

advocate · 11-01-2009, 06:27 PM

The unit is absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure you won't have trouble selling any.
