I am very interested. May end up putting in a car-puter this spring/summer. If I do, then I obviously couldn't do this. But if not, I will put these in.

Do you have a pic standing form the doorway, so we can get a bigger picture of what the whole setup looks like? From those angles it looks way too "flashy" for me. Just a pic from the door looking in...

I can't say if I'll be interested or not unless I get some idea of pricing. Ballpark figures is all I'm asking for.

I understand a lot of you want to know what the price is, but unfortunately I cannot post a price here at this point because this is not official yet. I guess what I can tell you is the parts alone for each pod to be made will cost somewhere around $200 (a little more or less). If you guys know how much the OEM center dash console cost then you will know what I mean. This is just to give you a little idea. Of course there is a little more to it considering the labor that needs to be done.

But for now I just want to know if there will be enough interest for this piece to go into production.

how is the glare in the daytime? i'd love this pod, but wonder how bright the sun reflects... also, i have 2 center dash pieces and a lotec pod. if you put this into production, let me know and i'll send them your way for a slight discount.

Although there are some glare, but it is not really noticeable and will not bother your eyes. I have had this on my car for 1 1/2 years now and I never had a problem with the glare.

Yes once this goes into production, I will be happy to offer discount if you send me the two pieces.

Yes unpainted will be an option! And price for unpainted will be less.

I was worried at first too, but I am glad I painted it jet black because it looks so sexy that I didn't even notice the glare at all. And plus there isn't really much glare anyways....
