Default guaging interest: carbon fiber blockoff's(radio,climate control,etc. etc.)

whats up guys im just trying to see if anyone would be interested in some carbon fiber interior blockoff's for eg chassis only.(maybe other chassis as well but mainly eg)

i know alot of people will flame this because they have diffrent opinions then me but whatever.

ill be selling them for $25.00 shipped for radio, climate control, or optional pocket blockoff's....will have pics up later on after i see how many people would want to buy one.

if you can think of anything else you might want blocked off just post it in here.

i will only be able to make so many so if you would be interested in buying one please say so other wise you might miss out!

i hope so....i know ill be using the carbon fiber eg radio blockoff since i dont like having a stereo in my car


i might also make some flat panels to mount an ecu on for people who just leave the ecu on the floor(like me)with some non slip rubber feet on the bottom so the ecu dosent slide around when driving but thats just an idea and i might only make the ecu mount for my car

If the ecu gets relocated, it would probably be best if it mounts somewhere, instead of just non-slip feet.

yes i thought of that too but if you just lay it on the floor instead of where it mounts up from the factory it cant really slide all over the place it limited to where it goes cause it plugged in..so if it has non stick feet or even velco on the bottom it wont move(ive had my ecu on a non slip mat for a while and it has never slid)

I'd be interested in that ecu mounting thing as well if you make it.

I wouldn't just let the ECU sit anywhere. There's too many wires and power routing in and out of it to not properly secure it to something.. Too fragile of components to not mount it to something.

And, if it's cheap and carbon, someone will buy it.. period..

many good points from a guy named Hater

i had the same thought when i made this thread.

i still have to rethink the ecu mounting plate..but first i have to get my car out of storage and im waitin on the carbon fiber...right now im just trying to see if there is a demand for radio blockoffs, and ecu mounting plates for the eg chassis...(originally i just wanted to make them for my car but i thought it would be cool to make a handfull of them and sell to cut down cost

Three flat panels, with 4 L shaped brackets from the hardware store and some holes/screws/rivets would do me just fine..

I just think that brass thing, even if it's covered with carpet, is ******* nasty..

ill take pictures in about a week

i was lookin at my ecu and it would be pretty easy to make a ecu top plate to replace the gold oem plate...im not sure how to make the corners strong enough to withstand the stress of screws holding them down the screw holes are close to the edge so i think i might have to let some carbon hang over the edge a bit...
