how bout a hard lid that dosent fold in, just lifts up. it wouldnt be any more of an eye sore than a pop out DVD player and would be crazy easy to make

 

or if your into those crazy VIP curtain on ur windows....

 

Those do look sweet.

 

Gotta love the cutrtains.....they look kind of like a grass skirt on one of the hula dancers you put on your dash.....

 

the straight lift lid looks good, but I wouldnt mind seeing it done like the one in the 350Zs

 

what do the 350z ones look like?

 

What about a conversion? Meaning taking the lid from a Tc, and modding it to fit the double din opening in the Xb. I found the Tc heater/AC controls on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

Havent really measured the opening in an Xb. Anyway I have to replace the bezel on my Xb b/c it was damaged when some @$$ tried to take my stock stereo, I might consider attempting a conversion, if anyone has measurements for the openings on a Tc.

 

wow guys you have some really awesome concepts. out of curiosity imma watch this :D

 

You guys might already know of this, but if you have a store that sells stuff for model trains they normally sell sheets of black plastic, that you can cut into different shapes.

Seems like it would be handy for making something like this.

 

they click down, then lift up and fold into the dash, kinda like a garage door. I'll see if I can get some pics, we have a Z car in the shop right now.

 

Ive seen the carbon fiber sheets like 12"x12", thought about using some of that...but may use the palstic as a prototype..not as pricey.

 

Suoer autobacs also sells ABS plastic for 4.99 a sheet I believe. they're around 10"x10" if I remember right. As soon as finals are over, I'l be working on a top track design. The door should pull flat straight out of the dash, lock in a groove, and be able to close down covering the radio. I think the biggest problem is shaping something that'll match the design/flow of the dash lines. Hopefully everyone can collaborate, and come up with something good for this idea

 

that'd be where I'd seen it before.... good stuff
better drive since they fixed the 22 frwy too

 

sounds interesting, may need to look into that

 

i get all my plastics from TAP Plastic. i know there are a few up here in nor*cal iono about everywhere else. www.tapplastics.com GOOD LUCK GUYS!

 

I need one a cover that will go over and lock into place on mine

 

Maybe a hidden lock on it....just giving the visual idea that something is locked up behind the door...that's just a theives temptation button. Ive learned that lesson long ago.

 

all these ideas and no one has tried to make one??? well i have an idea im going to take the stock face off of my old stock six disc, make a template of the face.. and i'll even do a DIY write up... just give me sometime to work this all out.... i have a winter break from school coming up so i know i will have time to give it a shot. heres a hint im going to use foam, aluminum foil and stiffen stuff to make the foam template hard... and then a spray plastic.. and paint... my reading the previous post if there was a way to make it fold up i.e. push up then rest on the dash i think it would work...

 

I am going to attempt a Tc to Xb conversion, just bought the Tc console. Should have something to show in awhile.

 

that's an expensive conversion unless you were able to find a junk tc
