I'm trying to think of a way to mold my new tomtom xxl550t into the stock cubby and wrap the entirety of the center console in suede or carbon fiber.

any suggestions on how to approach this? Shops who can mold the tomtom onto the open cubby?

something like this(but with the device at at greater angle for easier viewing while driving)

or like this but with the tomtom in place of the guagues of course

 

that looks sick man let me know how it comes out!!!!!

 

both setups look reaL nice.. good luck on it bro

 

Thanks Guys

 

Do you want the piece just made, cover and installed?

 

also kinda interested in this if its not ubber expensive.

 

yea, I was thinking fiberglass would work well to mold the shape then drill a hole in the cubby for the power and then cover it all.

 

I've run into a slight issue with wrapping the middle console in suede, I got an estimate from the Stitcher in Boca Raton and he claims he cant wrap around the radio controls , should I just paint it or is there actually a way to get the suede on there?

 

Dinoc Carbon Fiber Vinyl is VERY flexible once hit with heat (blowdryer in my case), that makes tackling sharp angles pretty easy.

...just an alternative to suede (if you don't wanna end up painting), if the current problem is the suede ripping or something like that

 

actually that would be a great alternative to painting, I think the issue at the moment is tucking the suede into and around the buttons near the face of the radio

 

Hmm, do they make something like this with an OEM look for the 05+ model ?

 

I dont believe so, would have to be a custom work

On the note of my custom nav install, I have changed plans, I decided I do not like the tomtom for the reason being it did not give detailed info such as what side of the street your destination was on.

But I'm in the works of ordering a yard or two of Alcantara for a nice interior overhaul starting with my doors. Its going to be custom. Thats all I can say, don't want to ruin the unveiling of the finished product.
