So when do these start shipping out?!... And how much?!...

Except i need mine without the mp3 holder. My DVD player has a built in SD card slot, so theres room for 32 gigs of tunes on there, and controlled on the stereo!...

How did you mount it to the dash? Screws or sticky?

Are those aftermarket lowers?...

Awesome skills...Looks great. Before you start shipping I want mine to have the mp3/ipod slot to fit tight. Instead of a finger hole I want a spring loaded clasp and a spring loaded base for the under the mp3 player. Then It'll be press a button and the player kicks up just enough so I can slide it back and out! But hey it's easy to armchair quarter back...

Like I said great skills. Nice job.

Nice work Sincecrazy. I don't know that I'd go through the trouble but clearly you have the patience and skills to pull it off.
