First customization to my 8!

Hello all..............this is my first mod to my other wise stock RX8! I had this alpine EX-10 in my old Toyota and wanted to use it in the 8, but didn't want a dash mount. The only thing is that is is being broadcast over FM until I get some sort of AUX input mod for my BOSE head unit. Let me know what ya think!............

Also.......I broke a mounting leg off the first molding and had to make a new one.........as seen in the final painting........other than that I think it turned out pretty gnarly!

Very nice. I've made two pods for my 8 as well. First for the Sirius unit, and now my Dell PC.

Maybe someday I will do some more custom stuff. Perhaps trying to squeeze a sub somewhere that it probably does not belong..............(dont want to lose any trunk space)!.......or maybe something with the center console lid/center speaker cover thing......I've seen some nice gauge pods up there...........who knows!

both look pretty nice! the nice part about both is that you can easily go back to stock by simply replacing the ash tray. good work!
