Custom ipod/iphone DOCK in front cup holder
well as maybe half of everything made is on a day when your bored and want to start something new... well yesterday was that day i been wanting to try this out but never thought it would come out too too good but it did.
i never really use my cup holders in the front cause im used to having my ipod there 24/7 and also i like it closed to lay my arm so instead of leaving my ipod to get hot and be dangling around all the time i wanted something for it to lay in. i had some extra wood from a sub box i made a friend so i used that and here is the finished product it is able to hold my 80gb ipod with a case nice a snug and an ipod touch pretty well i didnt do a slot for headphone for the touch since i dont use it much other then my classic i wrapped it with leather since i didnt have a suede or something softer so it wont scratch my devices since i have found out it holds my dare perfectly also
of course i made it so i can take it out cause there is the time everyone is in my car and all my cup holders are needed i am thinking of selling it maybe so this is like a feeler type thing also since i think it came out pretty well for a first type deal any ideas to better it would be great too

Wow excellent idea, can u make it face the opposit way so that the charger side faces the front, cuz what I was thinking u can remove that small piece that's right by the headphone slot! Then u can drill a hold in it and run the adapter wire through there! P
Oh and get an rx-8 or mazda emblem cut out and silver stensile paint them to the middle of it!
Plus if ur selling I'm interested

hmm interesting i mean thats very simple to put the charger cord there i just had my headphone cord there cause i did the wire tap into the stereo and i did just like you said but with the 1/8th there instead but if you would like pm me im down for making another one as for the mazda label it is leather.... lol so idk on how i would go about making that part and would leather still be a good idea..... i believe its the simplest and softest and the leather i used came from my mom that works at dooney & burke lol so it was pretty soft
like i said pm me we can see if you really want one and make an offer

Looks nice :thumb:
I never use the front cup holders either, and for the same reason lol. I keep my sunglasses in there and any small papers. Once I do my stereo install I plan on doing something similar in the ashtray, maybe a slide in connection for my ipod and iphone.
