Hi Guys,

I'm currently having a pretty extensive ICE install in my car, and have had a set of door pods developed. Unfortunately when my components turned up, a panic broke out - as you can see these bad boys are VERY deep!

So the builds that they have done are not going to be deep enough. Rather than trying to mod them to fit, they are going to start again. Before they were committed to the back of the workshops storage cupboard, it struck me that these units would make some really good builds for another Supra.

Throwing into the mix the fact that I know someone who makes fiberglass bodykits, it would be relatively straight forward for me to have these moulded and properly produced.

Below are some work-in-progress shots of the builds, to give you an idea of the overall shape and fit. They are designed to house a typical set of 6.5" components, and the guys that did them really know their stuff.

If I was to organise this, and get a group buy together on them, how many of you guys would be interested in a set?

They would be provided primed and ready to paint, or alternatively they can be painted to any paint code. I have no idea what these would cost (just what i've paid so far for the man hours to have a one-off set created) so some idea's of potential guide prices could prove useful.

Yes Rosie (the masking tape costs extra!), doesn't look overly glamourous in the pics, but the final product will be completely smooth, sanded primed and ready for paint / painted.
