I made some replacement FC corner vents

[fc3sbob]

original is on the left, new one is on the right. Made from ABS Plastic and much stronger than the OEM vents and they have a slightly more modern look. And they fit in nice and snug just by friction. This one was just a prototype and I ended up painting it, which I want to avoid doing in the future.

anyways check it out.



I might be willing to make some more if anyone is interested, but I'll setup the appropriate thread for that later.

Wow. Can you do other stuff if I send you the original?

I can, but size is a factor. I wouldn't want to make anything much larger than these vents. what part is it?

[spacevomit]

Map pocket lid? Probably other stuff too..

if these were reasonably priced, you could probably sell tons of these. they look great, and those damn vents break if you look at them wrong...

thanks, yah they are very fragile. I actually broke this one while I was trying to very carefully take measurements.. lol I was not happy, then remembered that I was making new ones so I really didn't care that much

Love the initiative and that part looks great.

^^^New stock part is less than $20 at my local dealer and Mazdatrix at 17.77 http://www.mazdatrix.com/in-dash.htm The new ones are fairly flexible, its the 20 years in the sun that kills them.

if I did make these for other people, they would be around the same price.

Map pocket lid is a good idea...

[Tevan]

The side mirror triangles would be cool.

Side mirror triangle with tweeter provisions would be awesome!  Are you 3D printing these?  I'd pay $30 for a pair...
