Nice job....did you consider leaving vents on side to still let the defroster work?
Mike
Did consider leaving the vent functional, but it'll NEVER be needed here. It's fairly simple to fab, I bought a honda pillar pod, a small fiberglass repair kit and a small body filler kit. Then basically carved the pod to match the dash contours, dremeled out the inside of the defrost vent. Plugged the vent and drilled a hole for the hose and wires. I removed the headlight switch and main vent to get a visual of were to make the hole and to be sure not to hit anything! Crazy glue pod to vent, add fiberglass on the inside to reinforce, small piece of reinforcing mesh for the front, body filler outside to finish off. Use painter's masking tape all around area so filler doesn't stick/ruin dash. Sand, paint, done.

If you know someone who can make a mold for mass repro, I'll be happy to send it in, Dave.
Thanks to everyone for your comments/compliments!

Next project to be completed in a couple days (or hours) is the installation of a half din DVD player in the glove box with an external remote mount IR sensor.

You ask. I deliver.

yeah, we need a group of 20 and a project manager. Does anyone have interest?
The Defi electronic boost gauge with the red leds would match up nicely with the Audi red dash lights.
Hmmm

Great! So how many are interested in having a pod made? A minimum of 20 and has to be pre-paid for project to be done with a 10 week ETA.

So it is actually mounted to the inner surface of the VENT and does not damage the actual dash surface? NICE IDEA....
Good place for a Phone mount, Iphone, or aftermarket Nav unit...would be a solid place to mount with plenty of room for wires...
So a fabrication of the bottom half of the unit would have multiple uses.
Nice work.
Mike
Yeah, mounted to the vent and "floating" a mere 1mm adove the dash
