240Z2NV Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I was surfing the net looking for some ideas on, of all things switches. I stumbled across a 'strange' website that has listings linked to eBay with very good organization by 'era', and price, and area of vehicle. Now for those really creative guys, this site could be a goldmine for ingenuity. I'll give you an example: I was looking in 'Interior' '00 to Current for some switch ideas [incredibly inexpensive OE stuff], when I saw a Black Console w/ Leather Armrest for a Honda Accord ['02] for TWENTY FIVE BUCKS. It was in nice shape, and I measure my Accord console [same model] and with some trimming, it could be a REALLY cool console for an S30! Where the oblong hole for the OE handbrake is, one could put a panel in there with switches or LEDs. This is just ONE example. I saw many power window motors that I believe could work well [usually look for back seat units due to limited 'travel' needed for our S30s]. Leather Shift Boots...REAL leather, for $15. Anyway, I think that some of your creative guys will love the site: http://www.niceautoparts.com I am guessing that eBay Listers pay this site to 'refer' people to their listings...? The site is NOT the specific seller of each item. Good luck, I hope that many of you find some hidden treasures here. I believe that I have! Mustang GT Brake Calipers [spares] for $15!!

Netrix Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 it's like a junkyard, without leaving your chair. It's bad enough when I spend a day in the junkyard buying random trinkets saying "wow this is cool I'll bet i could make something out of this, I better get it".

Tony D Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 "wow this is cool I'll bet i could make something out of this, I better get it". That has to be an instinctual Michigan thing. I say the same thing! Cool site. Bookmarked. Gracias! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckolander Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Michigan thing hell, I grew up in Cali, just moved to N.Dakota and I still get the "oooh I need that, it's shiny!" syndrome constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
