okay so i've just started to do the interior LED swap and i think i've bitten off more than i can chew . . . . . .

i've decided that it would be best to get a professional to finish the job...

does anyone know someone located in the so cal that could help me out??

(i would rather take my car to someone than ship my parts...since my car is a DD, i cant wait for the mail)

 

here you go sir...

Also. I looked on oznium. They have a list of installers there. Not sure if one is in your area but check it out. I met a guy in Houston that did swap for 30$. And did a nice job too.

 

yea i saw squalLHearts on there..i remember seeing him on the forum. i PMd him to see if he knows anyone closer to me

 

damnnnnn sean from vled just got back to me...$150 just for labor! what the heck...

yo josh get ur guy to come to LA and do my swap! haha

 

Were the 2 brackets you linked on ebay the only 2 pieces you bought to hold the dual din Pioneer inplace or did you buy anything else or use anything else?

 

that was it...those 2 pieces

 

Ha if I got him to go to you it'd be like 2 grand for a swap lol. I know you don't want to but you can ship it to him 2nd day or something and he'll get it done the day he gets it and mail it back. Took him like 30 min to do my whole board.

 

i was planing u drive him here so i dont have to pay for travel LOL

i will definitely consider it if i can find time in my schedule to have the car gauge-less for a few days and dont find anyone local as good as ur guy

I have been contacted and the BERGGS DOOR VISOR PROTOTYPES have just arrived!

the weather is kind of gloomy/raining here in LA...so depending if the weather is good, i will stop by the warehouse today for test fitting and photos.

stay tuned!

 

Lucky, I'm only sponsored by a speed shop :/

 

run my stickers and i'll give you % off parts.....

 

go find companies local to u and e-mail them. that's all i did...but if ur in the So Cal area u might be SOL...i kinda got everyone near me covered already

 

Test fitting for the prototype Berggs Door Visors. There are few issues that need to be fixed in the measurements so that it applies flush and perfectly, so I will have to go back again for at least another prototype.

In addition to that, once they put it on...they felt like the rear panels looked like they were missing something. So they measured that out and the final product will be a 4-piece set that will include both doors and both rear panels. They didn't really like the look of it just cutting off.

Despite the fitting issue...the product works great just the same. I drove around at different speeds with the window cracked. I get nice cool air coming in, but without too much annoying wind sounds and the glass doesn't shake anymore at high speeds.

(plus group buy info)

Oh FYI, it is confirmed that next up after the visors are complete is to start working on a lip kit (front first). And since the tC2 is still a blank slate, any suggestions are welcome on the style of the lip kit! (Obviously they are NOT going to knock off someone else designs, but just to get an idea of what the tC2 community is interested in)
...I for one have said to them that I, myself would prefer something on the subtle and clean side and nothing really big an obnoxious.

also, the kit will be made out of polyurethane.

 

Lol I'm in Oregon I have a team and shop sponsor so far.

 

How about a kit that looks like the 1st gen OEM lip kit?

 

Visors are ok. Don't really like the bulkiness maybe alittle slimmer. And don't like that they just stick on. There's not a grove they can slide it in? I'm nowhere near my car so I can't look for myself.

Lip kit. I love the one that was a sema show. The gray tc with the rs2 molded front lip. SEXINESS!!!! Something like that would be cool.

 

@wellesley, i likie..i'll definitely make sure they try to get some inspiration from it

@jtk2, at first sight i thought the same thing (bulky-looking) but once they were on the car and i look at it. its not as bulky as it seems. they told me when they measured it that they would try to make it as flat as possible. i will see what more they can do

 

Kid, didn't you mention before that Berggs had said that the channel for the windows was so tight they could not get a reliable thickness for an in-channel visor?
