Most Expensive Glove Box Ever .... Thank You Joe





Well as some of you may remember I am big into neons and electrical doo dads and gadgets. *AS SEEN IN PREVIOUS PICTURES ABOVE*. Well for a while I had switches mounted under my dash that looked real bad. I had wires exposed all over and drunnign this way and that. I also had some switches literally laying on the end of wires in my glovebox. Then I had wires running from trunk to rear of the car for the stereo. All the wires ran right through the cab ina wire loom. *I didnt know where to put them*. So I finally got sick of the horrible look it had. Also because of so much wire being run it was hard to identify problems when they came along and also if I needed to remove or add something it didnt work out. So I finall sat done one night and tried to figure out a whole whole wiring setup, switch setup and a whole way to conceal it all. Yet this bein me it had to be unlike all others out there. First to figure out was switches. I wanted them to be reliable switches as I have gone through so many cheapies. Then a way to tuck it all away and run as little as wire as possible. I finally had an idea but would need help. I had contacted carbon Joe as he had done great work from what I had seen online. I knew I wanted a touch of CF in my car so this was my first addition. We chatted for hours that night about what I wanted and he asked to sketch it out and he would give me some options on way to do it. So a weelk later he recieved a fax of what I wanted and after a few weeks of tweeking the idea here and there and of course finding the right glove box to modify I had it in my hands. It was now my turn to do the wiring, lighting and of course switches. After completion there it was time to tear down the car. I pulled the seats, airbox, glove box, wire cover, system, lights and anything else that go tin my way. I measured 63 feet of wire coming out and back in only went 8 feet of wire. Now when the lights are off there is no visible sign of any of the aftermarket lighting on the car. Except for the stereo, XM and Tv there are no signs of aftermarket abundance of switches on the inside when glovebox is closed of course. Before I get to the pictures which I am sur eyou want to see ... I want to pay a special THANX TO CARBON JOE.. The box came out EXACTLY how I planned and pictured it. Everything fit perfectly with out any modification to it. The quality and craftmenship is superb and deffintely worththe price. It also ended with what I was going for. A one of a kind setup. I am extremely pleased with this setup.

OK OK ..onto the pics.

This is the before pic ..... Boooooooooring
