It would about 1-2 weeks to get a run of 25 made. The new kit will also come with a copy of the instructions.

Since selling is not permitted in this forum, please PM or email me, and I'll provide you with the cost and take your pre-order.

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the speaker bracket will allow you to install a 6x9 speaker in the stock location even if you are not using the original radio.
Ilya, does this clear the electric wiper motor? If so, I'd like one.

EDIT: I tried to PM you but it says your storage is full.

Price will be around $50 plus shipping for FTE members and slightly more on eBay to help offset their fees. My kit will be complete with a copy of the instructions.

Hopting to get this done around September.

As long as the estimated production cost remains as per the quote I received, my retail price will be cheaper.

An update on this... I've been very busy. Just recently dropped it off about a week ago at the shop. They've also been busy with other production work. I should have them in my hands in December.

FINALLY!!! They're in my hands. The final production cost was slightly higher, which will result in a modified purchase price cost, but not by much.

I'll start the process of contacting those that expressed interest. If I accidentally miss a contact, please follow up with me.

Thanks.
