Lightbulb Custom Interior....ALL PLEASE READ

I am working on some custom fiberglass stuff right now, and i started thinking...what could i make that would really get people to say "wow, i want something like that"...something marketable ? i was thinking a CUSTOM middle console able to fit guages, switches, controls, etc. ? I would like any and ALL feedback on custom fiberglass parts that i could fabricate and possibly market ? All feedback is welcome......Thanks !!

Well I know that this is an unusual and unique request with a small market, but I would like to get a fibreglass box made to sit in the back seat area of my vert.

I have removed the rear seats would like a 'box' that would allow me to install a stereo system and speakers. My rear seats are unuseable due to the rooll bar and I'm also thinking of getting a tornneau cover from RK sports for the vert.

pipe dream as far as I'm concerned but you did ask,

the console thing with the switches would be nice so then you could hide your gauges and switches for nos etc.

A custom console tray where you could mount your switches.

Autometer makes a guage pod which screws into the A-piller on the drivers side.

It looks alot better when people have molded the guage pod into the A-pillar itself, making it look alot more integrated.

If these were mass produced, they would probably sell fairly well.

I think some sort of center concel that go between the rear seats. Something that looks all part of the front concel and runs all the way back. That is if you don't put down your back seat.

A dual gauge pod for the cluster area - like the once autometer makes for the stangs and the rice boxes (two gauges on the sides).

I am with pu12en12g on this one. I think molded pods in the A pillar would look sweet. I have the Autometer pod now and I hate the way it looks, not smooth at all.

A custom radio trim bezel that would allow for a double din opening for a setup like a flip out screen with built in DVD and still have a spot for an indash DVD based navigation system. All this without loosing the fog light and ASR switches as well as the HVAC controls. I am starting to work on one at my shop but if you can get one done first I think it would look real cool.

For the 97+ Camaros you could make a gague pod that replaces the two center air vents but also has two little air vents on both ends (gauges in middle) like the one's they make for the 5.0 Mustangs.
