Seems like people could use at least the power plug. Any chance getting one like that?

Ok. I never tried to do any cf stuff. It would be a bummer if there can't be a power port. I use mine all the time.

as soon as the 05-07 are done, sign me up... i want one... but hope it fits my deck...

[mlbbaseball]

will do!

not trying to thread jack, but this would look great if it was CF, do you see any possible problems with the CF bezel fitting this...?

its all cool, i'm working on this as we speak. the problem w/ these small shapes is the small sharp corners. carbon fiber skinned items aren't easy but are doable on almost ANY circumstance. just takes teh tools. this one (unlike the 00-04 w/ the cigarette lighter delete) has that sharp corner. vacuum bagging actually DOES NOT work on this. so i need a press that will fit the corners. once i have one made which is what i am doing, they will be just as simple to do. but as of now, its not. I can push it in w/ my fingers manually, however, the weave will start to collapse on itself and won't look smooth. this is the dilemma. once done, there will be a group buy if Tom will let me. but i'm not gonna sell (excuse the expression) some half-ass'd job. if i wouldn't put it in my own car, guess what, i'm not gonna sell it. so i'm working on it. and will let you know when its ready
