95 camaro dash mod

This was really easy to do. I always had trouble with stuff flying out of that little compartment behind the shifter.... not that I ever accelerate fast or anything. [img]smile.gif[/img] Anyhow I got some plexi glass and a small magnet. Cut the plexi to size, placed the magnet at the top center of the plexi, apoxied the magnet to the plexi. Placed a magnetic strip of metal at the top of the compartment, again apoxied into place, I placed it back about 1/4 of an inch so you cannot see it. I then put my favorite emblem on the plexi, ordered it from E dacals.com. Then above the compartment I mounted a blue neon bar, so the emblem glows at night, very very sweet looking at night. Now I can put stuff in there without it flying out, and it looks nice too. [img]smile.gif[/img] E mail me if you want more info, qjinx@yahoo.com, images below:

I need to make a big one of those for my hatch, Everything always flys out of there.

[JinX]

What part of your hatch are you talking about?? If you man the trunk there should already be a slanted cover that goes over it. ??

Looks good. I did something like that too...
In the picture of it at night, it looks like a lot of light bleeds through, but it actually has very little coming through the cracks.

How did you keep the plastic stuck in there?

I did this with my car, but it doesn't look nearly as good as your guys'. I glued hooks onto the back of the plastic. Then I wrapped rubber bands around the screw in the back of the compartment. Then stretch the rubber bands out and attach it to the hooks glued to the back of the plastic, then let go, and it all snaps into place.

I thought I was so slick, but the rubber bands dry out and break every few months. The magnet JinX used looks like a good idea, I'm just wondering how you keep yours stuck in there.

[SplitFire414]

Mine just stays in by itself. I cut the acrylic glass as close to the exact size of the opening as I could. So, I don't have anything holdning mine in. It's just kind of wedged, but can easily be taken out.
