I couldn't go lower as there is a snap mount in place, I put the GPS right above that snap mount. ALso, below the snap mount is the window defroster air duct. While I could have just put the GPS there, I really didn't want to affect any stock functionality.

 

me likes a lot... pls make me one and i'll walk your dog, do your homeworks, mow your lawn, wash your car.. ok..maybe you shouldn't let me do that.

 

WOW! that is awesome! thats usually where i mount mine on the window. again it looks great!

 

Groupbuy!! how much do you think this will cost?

 

sweeet id be down for a GB

 

how about for those people with SoS gauge pod?

 

Amazing!! I think that is a great setup without having to mess with any stock parts that can get expensive if you do it wrong. Me likey alot! Let me know when that group buy is on. Good luck with the finish project.

 

I dont think I'll be making any more of these. When first diving into the project my main purpose was to show that it can be done rather than mass producing it. It takes me about 5-6 hours of just working with the fiberglass and filler before getting the final shape. All the fumes, dust, sweat, etc is really not worth it. Also, if I was to price it out, it takes $60 to make the bezel, 10 hours to completion, plus the nav. So I anticipate the price to be about

$60 + [10 * hourly rate] + [TomTom one $299 retail] = ???

If we were generous and set the hourly rate at $25, it'll be over $600 if the original a-pillar is provided.

So, what about the people who wanted to make one too? If these people do exists, I dont mind posting the dimensions for the bezel so you can have your own cut OR possible modify it to hold another GPS brand. I also have two aluminum bezels left if anyone wanted to experiment further. When the project is completed I will post materialized used and a much better DIY so it'll be easy to follow.

 

Very nice

 

Looks awesome, great work!

I too would be up for a group buy.
