Well Instead of having my AFC and radio out in the open all the time when im not im my car I figured ill make something to cover it up when im gone. Now sure it just pops off but hopefully it will disscurage thiefs from braking in. :thumb: Ill get better pics in day light :dsm:

Lol, first off, I'm not trying to be an @ss or anything. But its funny to me how people try and hide their stuff, then post pictures up on the internet so everyone can see what they did.

Good job though, definatly looks stealthy :thumb:

I don't get it.

Why didn't you just put it in the glove box or something? I don't understand why people need to display their afcs at all.

Are you constantly pushing buttons on it? Just put it in the glove box if you want it stealth.


me ? I play with the afc all the time thats why I have it where it is and also its for in a parking lot or when im not in the car. it covers all the gadgets that are there. looks pretty nice in there also .

What are you playing with on it? Could put it under the armrest or something.

But hey, I guess it'll impress the locals.

after driving alittle faster than normal ;) I like to look at how much air I brought in , what rmp i shifted ......recording the THR/AIR/FUEL Trim it would be a pain to lean over the console and open the glove box and everything everytime i wanted to pust a button on my afc ya know ? not to mention how uncomfortable it would be for the passenger. so yeah it is where it is , its goingt o stay there and I Like it . Thanks :) Plus where would I keep my CD's DUH !! Its cool man i hope the locals like it might even want one !! OMG
 
What he's really hiding is his nawwwwwz switch in there. The S-AFC is just a decoy. Watch out guys.

:laugh: :laugh: such a great imagination. :p
 
useless indeed... yet i must agree it looks nice...

I've always liked such panels.. like in the lincoln navigator... Cleans the center console
I would have tried to make it flat blakc like the rest of the console however.

Hey man, don't listen to these ppl... It's your ride, you do what you want to it and moreover, you did it yourself. It ain't a kit bought off ebay... props for creativity

Thanks man and yeah i went to go flat black today and also put a raised mitsu emblem on it... well see how it looks tomarrow when it all dries. Thanks again :thumb:
 
I think that is a sweet idea. Mad props. It is a good way to keep it looking clean and such, and protect your shit. I don't think small theives would truly investigate in the car, they would just grab and run, so it seems pretty functional to me.

cool idea man. alot of haters though in this thread. why would you put your afc in your glovebox? that means everytime u want to adjust something u have to take it out of the glove box, mount it, adjust then put it back in the glove box, etc etc. one word, WHY? :confused:
 
I also like the looks of it, but wouldnt the raised mitsu logo just bring attention back inside the car? :confused:

(thus removing the point of all your hard work)

Tell me why you need to adjust all the focking time? What are you messing with? If you needed to always be messing with your settings, people wouldn't even bother going to dynos, as you'd have to be going back once a week.

Set it and forget it man.
 
no no its not like super raised i was just saying that to show i didnt tape out the shape of a mitsu logo and then pull it off to get the look and also the logo is black so it shows no deffination unless your right on top of it. with the tint and the flat blackness of it its almost impossible to see anything on my dash there. I really like it too im proud of it. :thumb: Thanks guys for the good words. :dsm: Ill get the newer pics soon.
 
JVC Chamelion for your dash WOW!



I have to be honest, it is a horrible idea and tacky to boot... The AFC is for one thing optimize your air/fuel mixture. So you use a wideband and/or dyno and get it optimized then dont touch it again unless you have different settings for pump and race gas.. but either way there is no reason to "play" with it all the time. get it setup and you shouldn't touch it very much. put it in the glove box or the center console.. or my thinking about it idea.. under the cup holder, pull the holder part out and it is there..


from the looks of it you have a stock radio in there, most thiefs will either A not want it or B) know you cannot re-use it without a code. If I saw that cover there I would KNOW something was being covered and be interested to see.. so really out of all the congloberation of crap you covered the only thing worth anything is the AFC.. :thumb: :thumbdown: :barf:
 
i think that is pretty cool!!! damn but one idea you should cut the whole and put it inside so it doesnt stick out too much.. But its looks good... Also, dont worry about giving you $hit for it man.. We understand that you dont want your car gettin broken into..
