Default New Stereo DIN plate with Z logo!!

Just here to gauge some interest. I have a gentleman interested in having me make these and I was wondering if anyone else would be also.

In short, it will be brushed stainless steel with a single din. It can be at TOP like shown if your stereo flips down, or at bottom. I can do it with the squares straight or with them tilted too

Tomorrow I will find out pricing but it should NOT be too bad.

***PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THIS TO THE CLASSIFIEDS, IM ONLY GAUGING INTERST TO SEE IF I SHOULD "POSSIBLY" MAKE THESE*

I had this done to my accord with a Stainless insert (laser cut) for the din. That is a blue neon behind it...

I went overboard and had one cut out like Goku for the bottom cubby hole. It is also out of Stainless.


And here is what they look like in the daytime...

Oh yeah baby!! I'd prolly go for a subdued light. Amber will be nice. How do you turn it off? Holy cow!! With the xenarc screen, the HU, and now this...my dash will look like LasVegas.
Maybe a smoked lexan with amber light inside? I guess that'll be a challenge to photoshop.

wadd, definitly interested. Be sure you make the "Z" logo EXACTLY the same shape as the original logo (use photo ready art if you can get it), otherwize maybe we could get a "Z" logo from another part of the car and slap it on there (which would make it blend well)

Yes, I had concidered this as a custom route......I will accent with a subduded, not so in-your-face amber lighting...possibly have it Dim with the dash lighting.


But short answer.......I would buy one.

I believe you can pick up the bulbs for it?

I may be wrong.

The person who inspired that plate had them and what he did to get them to light. I forget though.

Hey Wadd,
Definately interested here. I fyou remember I had mentioned this idea to you I believe a long time ago when you were first looking into having a stainless or aluminum faceplate made. Was that you? I dont remember now. I definately want the Z and squares cutout so they can be illuminated. Let me know adn I will paypal you the money as soon as they are available. Thanks.

p.s. how much for you to glue on the lexan behind the plate before shipping?

Default Pricing is DONE

Guys,

I got pricing on machine time and material in today. Looks like about 50bux+5 shipping for Brushed Stainless with the logo and squares cut out.

If I can get 5+ orders it will be 45+5 shipping. 10+ orders and it is 40+5 shipping.

Please email me if you have further questions. Im assuming this thread will now be DELETED since I mentioned $$$.

This was also a very nice install
