[chriw21_2000]

Hey, this is one of my many custom parts that will be on my eclipse. I could go and buy things already made but mine are one off custom peices. Tell me what u think. I'm only 17 and love doing crap like this.

Dude, thats sweet, I want something like that for my 1G, in the second din when I go to an aftermarket stereo. I want to put 3 gauges below it, and to have them angled like that would be awesome!

[Libila]

looks good bud, i like that idea for the the second whole in the 1G's, i think im gonna try that out...

 

[chriw21_2000]

Hey, thanks for the comments! Well, I can make these if you like me to. I was wondering what would be a good price for this? They take a good bit of time to make. They start out as masking tape and cardboard. Let me know about anything you want made.

Well i truely might be interested.
Im trying to figure out how ima mount my DEFI 52mm Boost Gauge... Whole Buncha Ideas just nothing solid yet....

 

[chriw21_2000]

get up a general idea and I can build it. I have made normal guage pods also. I think mine are of equal or better quality than the plastic ones because mine are all fiberglass peices. Any other custom peices I'm willing to make.

Nice

 

[chriw21_2000]

Anyone interested in buying custom guage pods for 1g and 2g's? I dont mind making them if you want them.

 

[Lunch_Box]

VERY nice. Do you have any progress pics from start to finish?

 

[Tallen]

Goddam, thats impressive.

good work. I love working with fiberglass...im 18 and my first project was the tv, its easy stuff to work with. Next is my headliner with custom gauges mounted in...then subs where the back seats are, then ill go from there
hopefully the dvdplayer i got will fit in the din slot or ill have another project to start on...


*edit, btw, if your 17 how the hell do you have the money for the kind of mods your car has? turbos, bodykits and all that other stuff isnt cheap, nice ride

J/K bro, you know it looks good. Be proud!!!

 

[chriw21_2000]

Its not real easy but it takes a long time! As far as progress, All parts are not being finished yet until all are complete and ready for paint. I like seeing young people doing their own mods and making custom things. As far as the money issue I work, go to school, do all my own mods, body work, engine work, ect. and still have time for other things in between. Mostly I can get the hook up on some stuff. I'll include pics of recent progress on my car soon.I Need Info On A Wholesale Distributor In The ATL Area. I have a tax number and resale # so i just need a place to buy. Audio, performance, body.

 

[chriw21_2000]

Here's my subs

 

[chriw21_2000]

All audio is stuck in until other things are done. All will be fiberglass and other materials. All interior is going to be blue and black.

id b interested in a custom 1g gauge pod, something that mounts under the radio for an afc and a guage that angles up and at u, or something that looks stealth and looks good at the same time.

 

[boostdevil]

ide be interested in knowing how to make stuff like that, anyone want to share?? i would be very appreciative!

 

[thekellbeast]

basiclly you build a mold out of cardboard or some other cheap material, cover it so the fiberglass doesn't glue itself to the mold, then layer the fiberglass on. You'll have to trim/sand/paint too. Here's the link to Super95awd's build

hey cool man thanks for the info and link, i think im gonna try making a pillar pod for a boost guauge once i get one

 

[MaNGiNa24]

DAMNIT! You beat me to it!

Good job man, looks great. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, except with 3 52mm autometer gauges instead after I saw super95awd crazy panel. Any chance you can make one that can fit 3 52mm gauges to save me the trouble?
