Lookin good!

nicely done, Kenchan! You modded a Modshack Mod rofl

thanks, modshack. :tiphat:

370zsteve- thanks...yah, i caught the modshack bug. :D

i decided not to paint it thinking the paint might transfer to the dash material...also the EZ felt was a bit too thick to be used as cusion so i sanded down the bracket surface with 2000grit and made it as smooth as possible without making it polished shiny...

i had a little gap due to the bracket so made a little gasket on the door side...

and the hatch opening side...

I just picked up one of these and plan to install it next weekend.

Modshack- yah, I had 2 DC adapters laying around so just used it. :p

btw, i only removed the shift trim and the decorative kick plate thingie in order to hardwire it to the 12v power socket wiring. i made a 1/2" hole in the cubby and snaked the wire through. finished off the hole with a grommet and black EZ felt for a OEM look.

didnt remove the entire cubby out... that would be too much work. :D
