good idea.... all the ones I have found at the audio shops look like crap...I put my stock HU back in just because of it looking so cheesy with the spacer

Sorry Stew
I PM'd the admin and asked why they deleted that thread. He quoted rule #15 saying only supporting advertisers can peddle their stuff. I retorted and let him know I'm an L owner who found a guy online that makes kick-butt dash kits and designed this one FROM SCRATCH at my request and I posted pics in case someone else wanst one. It's not like I'M selling these things.

Hopefully I'll have a response soon, but at this time I'd like to say thanks to the mods here that see I'm an enthusiastic truck owner who wants all of us fellow L owners to have some better options when it comes to dash kits.

Do you have a price on these things yet? I would like one that just says "F150" on it. How much are the custom ones running for?

Just wondering if ya knew.

No worries, 'phoon.

I swapped some emails with Mark regarding his creations and I'm pretty jazzed about his product.

Depending on the final version(s) available, I'll probably buy one before I even know what kind of HU I'll be getting.

If I can sweet talk Martin out of his custom audio setup, i'd be set!

Well Dwight from NLOC set me straight on their policies and I understand why he took the thread down. The good news is that he contacted Mike and Mike may become a supporting vendor anyway

You can email him directly at Mark@MAPtechenterprises.com

tell him Josh with the Lightning sent you. As for cost I believe they will be between 45-65 dollalrs depending on what you want. I know more than a few guys have asked for a radio delete plate with Gauge holes where the deck is and Mark seems game. I did the logo below so my deck would sit higher for my flip out screen. He can do whatever you want, but I'm not sure how much the customizing costs.

I'll be fitting mine this weekend, so expect some great pics and more details soon!

Josh

Any update on these things? Are they making the plastic version in the black plastic? That polished one looks like it sticks out a good half inch. I don't really like that, I would want a flush mount like most of the kits that are available.

Lightning, it won't stick out when it's done. This is the 1st one made, so it's a prototype. I'm still hacking away at it to make it fit, and then I'll have Mark start putting them out. Black should not be a problem . If you want to see some fitment pics (nothing spectacular) that I took last night, hit my gallery up.

You have the same issue here ....

Its one thing to post a link and a picture but you appear to have taken over the role of internet marketer for that company. If he a a supporting Vendor at NLOC then thats the right place to be hawking this product.
