Lightbulb D3 Install with no Orbital!!!!!Watcha Think

Got tired of waiting for the Orbital so I built my own. Used a radio relocation kit and lots of fiberglass. Turned out good I think. Should I take orders?

It looks to be the rexspeed pod however im not positive. Relocation looks good. Im planning on making a custom avc-r steering wheel pod out of fiberglass. Never attempted anything like it at all before so im hoping it will come out ok. You look like you did a nice job all in all

It accually looks better in person...it has some armorall on it which gives it the uneven shine but it turned out great. This took awhile to build so I have to fugure out a way of doing it faster to make it cost effective to but a lot of them. I also will need the stock bezel to cut out the hvac. These are available on Lancershop.com.

The gauge pod is ATi triple meter pod! Google it

nice i did the same thing too and worked out better then orbital kit. using jdm bezel but i am selling it . it on sale https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=377178


i used 3m bumper repair kit instead for fiber glass and bondo its easy to use and less mess plus it very flexible unlike fiberglass with bonda were everything has to be perfect fit.. if not and u try to force feed it it will crack and then u have do the whole thing again..but just my advice if some one wants to make their own hvac kit using factory ac trim and under pocket...use 3m
