i whipped this up today in about 10 minutes its more of a rough draft my haed unit has usb connectivity so this works perfect i just need a headphone jack that i can put in there next to it but thats not a big concern the thing is just wedged under the ashtray door the next one will be able to hide under the door. its made of 1/4" polycarbonate

 

That's a really trick setup. I like it a lot.

 

im thinkin some blue leds under there might look pretty good

 

yea, definately some blue leds. that would look awesome. and try and have the leds connected to the cover of the ash tray with a shut-off switch (like the overhead light with the doors) so when the cover closes the leds shut off. just and idea. but yea, that looks really good.

 

So what's on the other end of that usb cable?

 

its the stereo, like his post said.

 

ok, "haed unit" must be r e d neck for stereo..

 

lol i never picked up on that why wont it let me edit?

 

haha, i never thought that a simple spelling mistake would confuse someone so much. its kind of funny. haha. and head unit isn't red neck for stereo. but thats beside the point. haha, have fun, and post some pics of the blue leds if you put them in, i think that would look awesome.

 

Thats awsome, I was thinking about putting My choke cable puller under there put i thought it would be too much work. I hate drilling stuff into my dash.

 

i think ill try to get a better version of this thing before the leds, and you think a car guy would know that head unit and stereo are 2 different things

 

That would look alright if you hit it with some lightly textured black paint (to match the rest of the console)

 

 

Well maybe you should give up on thinking since you're not very good at it. And don't go crazy with all the blue LEDs or you'll have airplanes trying to land on your roof while going down the highway.

 

^why the hostility?

 

no worries too many lights are ***** im thinking just a subtle hint cuz if it was all lit up youd see all the cables and wires that run in the center console im thinkin of scuffing it up a bit so it isnt clear then maybe the leds and as for the airplanes its a hardtop R1c3r is censored?

 

yeah, I don't know why anybody into camaros would be offended by the word "r i c e r". I think they carry the whole political correctness thing way too far.

 

yea, Norwood, what is all the hostility for. i was offering my opinion. if you don't want to hear it, don't read my posts.

 

i think blue leds might be a little much heres what it looks like in the dark sorry about the quality its a cell phone picture

 

I can only say that there are several people in this world that I find obnoxious and you are all of them.

 

Try using black starboard it look almost factory. Or you can beed blast the back side of your clear and it will look good . But the black star board looks great look for a plastic shop.

 

Yeah, I think it would be the other way around would it not???
----------
Yeah, I am thinking of making something similar, but the whole ashtray assembly would be removed (lid too) and make a docking station for an Ipod

 

Whats starboard? Never heard of that around here.

 

i was thinking of something similar but i would have to cut the ashtray part off of the shifter part and i didnt really want to cut it up i bet it would be awesome tho and my ipod is broken lol

 

ok, what have i ever done to you. i don't know who you are, and i have never talked to you before. so lay off.

 

If you have nothing good to contribute to the thread or even the boards maybe you should find somewhere else to express your mind..

 

OK, I admit I was wrong. Adriancamaro is not the only one I find obnoxious.

 

^so are you implying that he is obnoxious too? why don't you stay out of this thread. you haven't said anything that would help. this is all i get from your posts .

 

agreed...

As for the ashtray.. I say frost the plastic... just use sand paper or media blaster... and paint a black ring around it.... then a blue LED on each end... but only if the blue matches your car. like if you have a read car and gray int... dont use blue.

 

car is blue interior is blue and the lighting around the buttons in the headunit is blue and thats exactly what i was thinkin just mark out the z28 logo or something and frost that into it then blue leds

 

I do like putting in the z28 logo.

 

Can I suggest a place where you can put the z28 logo? just trying to be helpful..

 

Moderators, please pull the switch.

 

wow I missedthis before, good idea. I have an AUX in I was going to route through the center console, but this may work better.

 

dude wtf? is this thread just pissin people off or something unless that wasent aimed at me then go nuts haha. anyone know where i can find a good outline of the z28 that i can transfer easily? like a just plain outline

 

what if you used an emblem like the one in your signature, but small enough to fit. just as a kind of accent. that would cover most of your polycarbonate and you could frost it or not its really a matter of taste. if you really want a Z28 outline maybe you could just find a black sticker of a Z28 outline and put that on after you frost it.

Norwood if you don't drop that attitude you will get blocked. the other users on this thread have been very patient with you. moderators, i suggest giving him one more chance before taking any action.

 

Jeez, just trying to be helpful..dang. Anyway I had a bad day and I apologize to anyone I might have offended and all the starving pygmies in New Guinea

 

larry the cable guy has to be the funniest dude alivei dont want to put a sticker on there permanantly just put the outline like in my sig pic but just the black parts like frosted around it but the z28 clear then put blue leds i think that would look sick

 

sounds better than my idea, although i don't know how you'll do it. i wouldn't bother with the blue leds but it would look cool. i want to see it when its done.

 

Make friends with someone with a laser engraver/cutter. That's the only way I can see it coming out looking sharp. You could also try going to a local hobby shop, and see if they have any glass frosting chemical, then with a lot of masking and a little luck it might look good.

 

I am doing the same thing but I am hiding it in the center counsel for my Zune or flash drive.

it probably isnt gonna happen anytime soon because its gonna be very time consuming and im almost finished school so ive got alot of work to do and then i got my work term so dont hold your breath

 

I used mine as a switch panel. One is for the fan the other is for the exhaust cut out. the others are not being used.

 

nice there perriz. Where'd you get that climate control faceplate/gauges? (the cool blue ones).

 

hey, how do you take out the door to the ash tray? that might open up some possibilities.

 

I bought them from Hawks about threehttp://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...OD&ProdID=1665 years ago.

 

I didnt try to take out. If I remember (I did this about three years ago) I think you have to cut off the mounts that hold the door on the shift panel.

 

ah okay. That makes sense. looking at those decals, it look like something I could put together. Thanks for the link. Was it just the decals and the *****?

 

The ***** I painted and the hot and cold colors were on their when I bought the set.

 

perriz28 why don't you keep posting your signature? i like looking at your car, its ****ing awesome.
