Do WANT!

This looks nearly identical to a triple gauge pod made many years ago for the 3rd-gen RX-7. It was a snap-in too that replaced the (useless imho) center speaker. I've got one. You wouldn't happen to be that guy, would you?

I bought a Lotek, but haven't overcome the trepidation of hacking up the dash top and gluing that vacuum-molded thing into my car. I think the Lotek is well-done for the price, a bargain really. But I do want a more elegant solution. (And not that nice-but-expensive $400 glassed-over shiny Lotek somebody is selling here.)

I'm interested. But what happens if you have a base sport model with no center dash speaker?

I am not the same guy but I was deff inspired by that design. I wouldn't be the one mass producing them so they will be more readily available.

Let me be very clear... I am not selling them just gauging if there is enough interest to make them worth the time that would be needed to be put into it

you may need to slightly modify it, the SIIs have a slightly higher and diferently slopped center dash... Will probably work but you may need to mod it a little,,,

If this does see production and there is a group buy, I'm definitely interested if the production version also clears the OEM SatNav.
