Custom iPod Touch Mount
So I decided to make a custom dash mount for my new iPod touch instead of just tossing it in the console where nobody can see it. I went to the local Freeman's car audio and got some scrap MDF they had laying around to start things off with. I cut the MDF to size and used a router to make the insert for the iPod. I had to notch the console itself on the side to allow the cord to come straight in the side; there's a little slack on the cord so I can pull it out to plug it in. I then wrapped it with black felt and screwed it in. It sits in there flush and is tight enough so the iPod doesn't fly out when I accelerate. Let me know what you guys think!

No, don't have to pay for internet, I just connected to the wireless in my house. I would do them for $75 plus shipping. It's a time consuming project, took me about 6 hours or so from start to finish. Let me know if your interested, and thanks for the feedback!

Yea I definitely wanted it to look clean, not just thrown in there. I like the CF idea, I just don't know anywhere around here to get something that would look good and conform to the shape right. I plan on painting the center dash section, I might do a fiberglass and paint one when that time comes.
