Stuff We've Made

ok, so i wanna hear what all you guys have made for our cars.

i think this would be a good way for everybody to flaunt their tallents. and possibly advertise themselves. pics are a huge help in this too. i know that i can fabricate ALOT, daboots has sway bar brackets, Opi does desplay boards, and Vamp does a ton of LED work. lets hear/see what you got

here's what i got (this is only what i've done so far. more to come)

splash shields

catch cans (can make these to mount anywhere you could want)

and custom painting

i know the car's a mess in this pic

You should start providing your services or start selling stuff too, i would send out my headlights so you could color match them silver.... mirrors too

problem with me right now is funding, and the vendor rules. but i do know that some other people got some good stuff

vendor rules

Due to rescent happenings we had to implement something until we can get the vendors straightened out...nothing against the good members though

I haven’t had allot of time to custom make stuff...

Replacement throttle plate for stock throttle body. It's made from plastic harvested from the fender well resonator... the first ever useful thing to come from one

Switch mounting plate for non-abs Neons. Made from 16gauge galvanized steel (I think).

Hudson, those lights are really unique!

Oh yeah I guess I can contribute. Custom painted grill!

03blackrt: how did you go about doing that switch plate?

Well, it started out as a piece of flashing for a house roof. I cut a rectangle out of it and bent it into a 'U' shape. The uprights of the 'U' had to be tapper inward since the little cubby hole tappers in. Then I used some small srews to go through the top and bottom of the cubby hole into the 'U' uprights. It was sprayed with a duplicolor textured paint. I have some crappy pics; I no longer have the plate, so I can't take any better ones.

Hmm, I like that. Looks pretty simple. I might have to do that sometime.

I can think of at least one vendor who got assed-out in that, and still made good on obligations. You guys ever gonna address that particular situation? Seems to me it's just administration, not members, holding that one back.

i got no gripes. if i ever wanna sell something in mass quantities i'll just bring it up with jason. i got the go-ahead from him on the splash shields first. and i'm coming up on 350 posts soon, already got the 100 days. then i can do some more serious talks with him

but on a lighter note, any body else got anything?

That was a drag track only setup. I never ran it on the street. Shoot, I didn't even run it when I put 20" slicks. Didn't want to lower the car and then find out that I crushed it.

What are you talking about? Its been addressed. The new rules are fully in effect, and anyone who wishes to be a Cetified vendor, just needs to PM one of the mods with all the required info, and they will be set up for approval??

Mustang TB adapter

My old 2.2 turbo I built that ran a peak of 35psi of boost

motor dated back to 2002/03
Estimated 410hp and should have ran 11sec 1/4's before removal off the street

thanks man i see quite a few people with the trim painted, alot way before i did mine, the only reason mines got painted was i had to cut up the trim to accept the projector.

i actually ended painting the outside edges of the part that tilts too. cover up a little more of that gawdy chrome

HOLY COW.

Anyway, those doors are tight KrackstaR- do you have a how-to for them? It's probably pretty straightforward, but specifics such as type of paint, coats, etc.
