Custom mount

I got the Cusco Zero2E Adjustable Coilovers a month ago with the electronic controller. I mounted the controller in my minidisk spot.

I work at a machine shop so I was able to CNC the whole perfect so that the controller is held in there incredibly snug with no adhesive of any kind. The LED's match the red lights on the stero too so it's a wonderful fit.

I'm gonna do another 8 mount in the same spot for his Valentine detector, and I'm gonna probably end up putting mine in the ash tray for easy concealment.

What do you think? I'm also looking for new fab ideas so if any of you live in the bay area and want something done or just have a good idea please share

On an unrelated note, I also have Cusco front stut tower custom hard blue anodized and got a rad color match. The rear bar comes soon.

Paint that oil filler cap to match the strut bar!
Looks good though.

Thart's a good idea. That yellow thing is sort of an eyesore I've seen rotor-shaped ones. That'd be cool to get but it's prolly expensive.

I have one more set of these Cuscos and the controller that throw has. I did the coils install for him and all the wiring. He was able to simply mount the contoller in the spot he desired.

Let me know if you want that last set Friendly, i can install it for you as well with alignment.

Controllers like that control the dampening adjustment ***** on the coilovers with small motors. So instead of getting out, popping the hood and trunk to adjust you have a couple of buttons. It just makes it much easier and does it much quicker than humanly possible.
