I'll check with cavell and see if he wants to do a redesign on it. The problem is that you'll have to drill a hole at the back of the holder and then somehow find a flat surface type bolt in order to put the hood on top of it. Have you mess around with the brightness on your commander?

Damn, thats awesome. I want one. I was checking it out earlier today, and was wandering what it looked like installed. Pretty damn good.

 

is this steve kahn from gotham??

 

How do you install the holder in a 94 Rx-7, does anyone have pictuers?

 

i posted pictures of one installed in a 94 somewhere here on the forum. the 'arm' of the holder isn't hidden by the glove box like in a 93. i ordered a few and found that out when trying to install one. i ended up not using it, it looked tacky IMO.

i do like the fact that you can set the commander in the holder and it won't fall out. i'm trying to come up with someway of combining that aspect with a different kind of mount

 

Damn, I hope it dosen't look tacky. That was my post on Mako's name. Ill do a search and see if i can find it. I just got mine today.

 

Was there any problem with the glove compartment (opening, closing, etc.)? If there's going to be a glare.. I'd probably rather not get it.. instead of a hood thing for it.. why not simply re-design the whole thing w/ a slight curve, bend or something.. but it still looks pretty good.

 

The material is .090 aluminum, so it's pretty flexible. And the powder coating won't crack unless you bend it A LOT. The only problem with the hood would be taking the Commander in and out of it, so the hood/cowl couldn't be perm affixed. I take mine out every time I park and put it underneath the passenger mat.



There is a curve already in it, about 15-20 degrees pointed towards the driver's side.



There's no issue with the glove box opening or closing, there's about a 1/4 inch wide opening between the dash and the glove box, and the holder sits in between there so there's no rubbing. On the 94-95 its below the opening, and it doesn't hit either.



A friend of mine has some pictures of it installed in his 94, and I'll try to get them so I can post them up on here.



If enough people really want a cowl over the top to reduce glare, then I could make some. But it wouldn't be cost efficient for me if there'd be a run of only 5-10 or so...



Just an FYI, and if anybody has any Q's, let me know. cavellm@sbcglobal.net Or PM me on rx7forum.com as cavellm as I visit there a lot more than here.

 

You should come here more often

 

Okay, just got my Yahoo photos thingy up and going. Here are tons of pics. Some before they were powder coated so you get a good idea of the exact shape when they're not dark as hell.
