my DIY ipod dock LOL
 

well, i went to buy a case for my nano and this case came with a mount for a dock which it didn't come with =S so what do i do? decided to make my own dock LOL

tools i used:...
- scissors
- side cutters
- exacto knife
- permament marker
- pen
- pliers
- sand paper
- primer, colour of choice, clear coat
- & tools neccesary to take apart my dash LOL

all done within 1:30-2ish hours(:

alright so i picked this up and it came with stickers, that mounting piece, and of course the case itself.

We've got some 3M double sided tape at the shop if you need some. :)

Buddy, it's 100 times better than anything from the night market, because you made it yourself. Good job. :thumbsup:

I think he meant free. As long as you don't use ten feet of it, LOL. Orgasmic Donor's a good guy. In fact all of them over there are good guys.

3m double sided body molding tape is the shit most any auto shop should have a little to give you.
