my vafc will be here tomorrow and i was going to go to sears and buy a dremel tool, so I can mount it

PLAN:

1 cut out cigarette lighter and ashtray with dremel tool
2 cut out black plastic and mount vafc in it

what do you guys think????

does the vafc come with a snap ring like most head units do???
it would make the cut invisible then

anyone else done this before?

thanks for the input

oh, i want the cobalt series autometer gauges, anyone seen them?

 

Dont think the VAFC comes with a mounting ring....never seen one, but bought mine used. All it comes with is a velcroed metal bracket that swivels.

The cig lighter thing is a little more cutting than I like to do on the interior, but go for it and good luck. I'm sure it'll look nice once done.

 

thanks for the encouragement
i don't mind cutting my car up, it's paid for

did you mount yours on the dash?
i just checked your web site and there aren't any pics of it

 

I had mine in the center console. Its easy to use from there and any potential thieves can't see it.
Took it out for now while the swap gets done.

 

i thought about the center console but i use it way too much. did your vafc come with a mounting ring?

 

It just comes with the swivel mount and thats it.

 

Its on the installs page....

 

oh, didn't see it sorry

ok, it came in on friday, and it's alot smaller than i thought.
i looked at cutting just the ashtray out but i dont really like the way it looks without cutting the lighter out too

any suggestions?

 

it owuld be nice if u could mount it under ur radio. ANyone tried this??? Will it fit?

 

i tried it there, but it's too tall

how about cutting into the wood grain on the passenger side?

 

just use the velcro and stick in on top of the dash... kinda like a CB radio in a tractor-trailer!!

what about semi-custom-fit in the change holder to the left of the steering wheel... I dunno how big it is, but it may fit...

 

great idea
my break is over, i'm going back out there

 

spent all f-ing day out there,
its in the glove box for now
we deceided to mount it in the wood (plastic) trim above the glove box and wrap carbon fiber around the trim first

it should be done by wednesday because i have a 2 hour slot reserved for my first dyno with this car

anyone going to battle of the imports this weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park ??
