heinzboehmer's 2002 Topaz 6MT Coupe

Yeah, absolutely nothing is square on this part. It made the CAD really annoying to get right. Makes sense because of the injection molding process and how all the parts fit together, but man, it was a struggle.

No complaints! Just feedback.

Hell yeah! Really appreciate the testing and feedback. Did you notice any increase in intake noise? My car is significantly louder in the interior with the 3D printed part.

No, but... lol

Right, I forgot about that small detail.


Also, completely unsolicited (and you might do this already when in use), but you should route those shoulder harness straps in between the headrest posts. If those slip off the seat in a crash, you're gonna have a real bad time.

Definitely! That's a pic from like 5yrs ago when I was mocking everything up, still has the 2.5L from looking at the instrument cluster, just the best interior photo I have, lol.

I didn't catch that. I was going to ask about the rear door panels. What's the point? 🤣

At the time it was to protect the vapor barriers, but now I have just embraced the water leak.
