Default Who's got the coolest one-off fabrications on their shark?

I've come up with a lot of ideas, but pulled the trigger on basically none of them. Things like custom AV/Nav/Computer setups, molded dashboard speaker installations, storage boxes, and so on. Anyone out there have something really unique they want to share?

Cup holders, PDA holders, Holsters, custom consoles, James Bondian accesories, and anything else customized tastefully would be great to know about.

Fat bully wins this one hands down IMO.

That car flat kicks but, and is truly a one of a kind.

I'll give it a shot
Most probably have seen parts of this project, but I couldn't resist

Started with the pod:



Then the steering wheel:



Then I installed a Pioneer nav/audio with the start of the console re-design



Then I moved to the door panels:





Lastly, I modified the sills:




This is the short version

Tying both sides with the dash will be next.

Some poor Ostrich got his wish and came back as a 928! Awesome, I like it a lot!

I really dig the center console

Tough call.... Well, I'll say that the coolest one-off on my car at least has to be the fan mounting bracket...



No big whoop, but it was satisfying for me. More details here.

Interesting muffler.. Can you give us some details on what it does and why you came up with it?

Jim Page built the muffler when he used to own the car. A cable runs into the cabin (below the e-brake) that allows me to adjust the muffler. When closed the car is a bit louder than stock. When open it will wake the dead (car also has MSDS headers, no cats or other mufflers).

Its fun taking off at a read light full throttle, shift at 6k into 2nd, then slam the valve closed.
Also comes in very handy at track events with noise limits.

I'm diggin' the ostrich leather. I had the idea to use shark leather to recover some items such as the center sections of my front seats etc. But I was having problems finding large enough pieces and I really have so much else to do first that I kind of put it on the back burner. Very well done.

Dan (Exotic) built a custom "Harness" Bar for my track shark. It untilizes the existing seat belts bolts and it basically bolts right in.

Pretty Slick

Pictures to follow later today.

I've got this cool Nitrous setup. Works great! Kudos go to Kilbort for the engineering of the setup for the 928.

We recently won a "Best of Show" Award at Car Crafts Summer Nationals (4,500 cars were entered)... I think that's a first for a 928 to win a National Hot Rod Show... Here are some pict's of the mods on our 928's
