Glassed BC in Ash tray
Thought I'd share some pics of my latest project. I fiberglassed my Apexi BC into my ashtray. My goals were to have it completely removable and concealable. I think it turned out pretty good.

hey, here's a question.. what's the easiest way to remove the connectors from the back of the ash tray? I've had real trouble getting them out, especially the damn light connector.

I really need to learn to work with fiberglass. That looks hawt.

Looks the mutts nuts!!
What are the dimensions of your boost controller, as I said to you earlier, I quite fancy throwing an mp3 player or pmd of some sort in there, preferably one with a large screen.

Can you remove the unit easily, or is it stuck in there as a permenant fixture now?

It is easily removable

To remove that light connector you need to use a screwdriver to bend the plastic V apart while you pull that connector out.

What are the dimensions of your boost controller
I think I remember it was roughly 5"W X 2H X 1D.

Wow! Thats nice. Care to attempt a three gauge pod (52mm) to fit under that ash tray lid? I am sick of looking at my nest of wires and waiting for RB to release theirs. I'd pay $$$.

That's nice, but how big are the numbers. I bet you can not glance at it when your tracking.

Post a picture when its on.
