ps2 in glove box area, customed in w/ hidden cig liter

magyver · 02-23-2004, 09:31 PM

so i got sick of my ps2 layin in the back seat so i put it in the glovebox area, i took the whole glove box out, and only used the door of it, but the door i sperated from the plastic that is on the back of it, and cut the big rectangle out of the front and added some plexi sides to cover up the inside that you can see when the ps2 is in there, i also got the idea to put the cig lighter inside the glovebox handle so it is hidden (i havent had a cig lighter because it got cut out when i molded in my screen) so i have it back now, and its all hidden style..

this only took me a whole saturday and a couple reinforces dremel wheels... have to cut some stuff out and what not (dash vinyl smells super bad when burnt!)

well, it looks ok, but the top of the cut out dosent look straight becausei have the zip tie too tight at top and that is pullin the center up... i will fix that laer, and pardon my wire mess that i havent yet hidden... soon!

not bad, too bad its exposed, doesn't compare to your screen install

Ludacrisvp · 02-23-2004, 09:38 PM

looks awesome!! i wish i had the time and money to do that

magyver · 02-23-2004, 09:38 PM

i want it explosed, wanted to be able to take it in and out w/ ease, as well as easy acess for when loading games/movies... kinda defeats the purpose if its hidden, i want it out there to see, plus acess...

Ludacrisvp · 02-23-2004, 09:39 PM

just dont have it too visible or it may get stolen

EBlend · 02-23-2004, 09:41 PM

well see, thats why i put it like that, so i can be seen, the only time its in there is for meets/car shows... other than that, it stays in my room where it gets played everyday

Ludacrisvp · 02-23-2004, 09:44 PM

if only i had the time to play mine every day
i cant wait for Gran Turismo 4 6-30-04!!

that doesnt look too bad. Good idea though.
But what id do is make a trim ring to hide the gaps and all those wires. Heres a photoshop of what I mean. Doesnt have to be black it could be the same color as the glovebox itself or whatever you get the idea.

An Xbox would look so much better

well, in order to look up there, you have to lay your head on the seat, my camer is sitting on the seat itself so i could get a level shot, so when your in the car or standing outside it, you cant see up there, plus its dark up there, the flash of the camera is making it so you can see the wires, even on a sunny day, you wouldnt be able to see up there, not even from the back seat...

i noticed that too when i took out the glovbox to disable my DRLs i was like holysh!t there is so much room back there that they could have made the glovebox bigger

that sucks that you don't have a GB no more. i have all my important stuff in there (insurance stuff, registration, etc) and my "rules for riding shotgun" pamphlet.
