I already have a separate thread to discuss the front dash dual-speaker adapter brackets I make and sell (see HERE). The purpose of the poll here is to determine the level of interest in an idea I have been discussing with our resident powder coating guru CudaChick1968 (Leanna), owner of Phoenix Specialty Coatings.
We have been talking about the prospect of offering my speaker brackets powder-coated in the color of your choice, not just a limited selection of black in flat or gloss. Leanna has the ability to coat parts in thousands of custom colors, so it's very likely she has one that suits your needs. I realize there are basically two camps of car owners I am addressing here: those who are solely interested in getting their project done with the least amount of cost, and those who might consider spending a bit more to end up with something a little special or out of the ordinary (that's what customizing is all about.)
Currently, I send out the brackets in natural, unfinished, brushed aluminum. I have seen them installed as-is, while some folks have painted them black on the surface visible through the dash grille. Yes, you can see them through the windshield (see pic below.) What if you could get one in your car's paint color as an accent? Maybe you want it to be inconspicuous. That's why I'm polling you.
Many of you have already purchased one of my brackets, some of you have thought about it but aren't ready to pull the trigger yet, and quite a few of you probably don't know about them because you missed my other thread.
Regardless, I would really like to hear from those of you who would actually have an interest in installing one of the brackets in your car. If you have already bought one, please answer the poll in the manner you would have if this option had been available at the time you got yours. If you never expect to want one for yourself, please resist the temptation to respond, since the final result will not affect you directly.
Leanna and I are working out the logistics of shipping and final costs. I'll update this thread as soon as we come up with final details. Thanks to all of you for your input.
