3rd, 4th, 5th gen custom 4 gauge a pillar

I will be making 5 sets of custom 4 gauge a pillars for 4th gen Max. Now I can make them for any gen Max, but the only A pillars I can get is from a 4th gen. So If any body that has a 3rd or 5th gen Max I will need your A pillars to make the pods, the time it will take to mold is about 3 to 5 days to make. The warrenty will be 1 year against cracking and fadeing. The price for each pillars will be $98 per pillars shiped. The way it will work is I will need $45 down and when they are done I will need the remaining balance of $53 dollars. Any question you may have can be posted or emailed to me. I will be taking deposit for the first 5 pods. I will have delio post pics of the pods as soon as posible.

I can make them however you want them single, double, triple, and quads. I not to familiar with 3rd gen Max but if they have the sliding seat belts I can not do it.

I am interested. Can I just get the standard grey interior color of my stock black on black leather interior?

I would like to see how it looks installed. =)

What 4 gauges are best to put in?

What about if you have a fuzzy pillar? Can you still do custom pillar jobs? Because I would like a quad pod, but I want 3 along the pillar then 2 on the base, kind of like how people put their oooglie tachs just beside the bottom pod. Make sense? all 2 1/16.

The pillars can be painted any color (factory colors or blue, red, yellow, etc) The carbon fiber I will like to do but the kits are to expencive $140 for a set and I havent even done one yet. I realy dont know what you mean by fuzzy pillars do the have a fabric over it if so that can be removed, if it is the texture it can be sanded down. I have pics of it instaled on my car but I will have to get delio to post them on hear.

OK I am interested. I would like to stick with my stock interior color though, can you fully totally replicate it? I would like to see PICS if possible of it installed, with gauges would be good too. =)
So is this a direct replacement for the pillar? or does it go over the stock pilar?

If we wanted them the "factory black", could you guarantee them to match the existing black interior in the max? Thanks.

The color should match because the company that I buy the paint from has over 200 colors. Yes it is a direct replacement of the a pillar, and not a over lay. SLCI30t can you post pics or email me some pics of you pillar to know what I will be dealing with. Prices for those who don't want the quad pod but want but want tri or duals, Quads $98, Tri #83, Double$68, And single will be $48 all prices include shiping.

Hey I want one for sure, unless for some reason I do not like the "installed" pic. Can I reserve a spot now or what? I want a 4 pod stock color to match my black on black, I beleive the stock pillar is grey though and not black.
I have already lost over $1600 on this board from bad sellers, not that you would take my money or anything, I am just more careful now and I do not know you well.
Let me know what to do, thanks.

I will meeting up with delio today and will give him pics so he can post. Redmax007 already ordered his and will be done by Fri I will have him leave a feedback on them on this post. On a na you might want to go with air fuel ratio gauge, volt meter, and amp if you are planning on doing future mods you might want a fuel pressure gauge.

To make this cheaper on our part, can we actually send you one of our a-pillars? I picked up a spare driver's side a-pillar and I would like the gauge pod done on it. Can you do this for me?

What I have been doing is useing the pillars I have then when the pods are done I send out the modifide one out, then they send me their oem. I can do what ever people wan't me to do I just take some time to make. I am having problems posting pics because I have pictures of the pillar instaled on my car but my brother inlaw are having problem posting them. But as soon as I can post them then I will.

For those who have tweeter I can only do a tri pod I set the pods higher so it does not interfear with the tweeter. But I am willing to cover the tweeter if people want me to.

I put mine over the tweeter, and haven't really noticed any real significant sound loss.

I have an extra driver side pillar too.

It does have a slight scratch in it.

Can I send this one in and get it back? I guess it might not matter though because the pillars may cover the scratch?
or maybe your process you do may fix the scratch?

How about I take a pic of it and you decide?

Then it would also be easy to make sure I get the exact same color I send to you.
Thanks

When I make the pods I have to sand it down so any scratches that it might have it will be gone when the product gets finished. Which ever color you want me to match I will do so, If you send me yours you will get the same one back but modifide.

OK cool, you might want to edit your original post to include all the info discussed thus far. Such as prices for 1,2,3 pods and any other info.

Sorry If i missed it, but what size pods are these?

Also to clarify as it is not clear in the first post, I must send in my own pillar no matter what? or do you supply them at that price?
If that price assumes you supply the pillar, what is the discount for supplying the pillar?

Let's do this, email me shipping & paying details to prod_spam@yahoo.com

peace
