Tray Table

Looks good, mind showing how you mounted it?

Needs a second shelf or something to look finished?

this thread will be updated as proper progress is made, hopefully you'll take a few moments to keep watch. This was simply a test of the mounts and their ability to hold the weight and locate where the upper deck mounts to the lower would fit with the hookah on the actual table. I have to use a different metal for the mounts so they hold up as securely that i want them to. I'd rather take my time & do it right. All of these tables have been modeled in solidworks before I make cuts. :runcoold:

that's cool, i hope the next one comes out great. not sure if you are open for suggestions, but the shape seems very obtrusive and unatural. i chopped something up real quick that i think would work well with the lines of the interior. feel free to use it, or not.

i think potential passengers would appreciate the extra leg room, particularly during entry/exit, created by shifting the bulk of the table towards the center console. ass an added bonus the vent could be used to heat/cool whatever is in the holder section. the second level gives it dimension. not sure if you were planning on that or not. i also think it looks good if you pull the outer edge to the door, to continue the flowing lines of the interior. a matching leather/vinyl surface with brushed aluminum trim would accent the interior nicely vs. stocking out like a sore thumb. just some ideas, take them or leave them.

You've mentioned a few things I've already planned on doing to keep it from sticking out :biggthumpup: (no pun intended). The reason it was such as large area was to support the base of that hookah more than anything else at this point and both curves are pulled off the front dash line as well. I'm always open to ideas, no reason to keep progression from continuing.

not trying to be a dick, but why would you want something everyone else has the same version of? that box...get outside of it.

Here's a quick shot of it after staining. Still working on either a chrome trim ring or another idea I had

the newer version table looks a lot better. If you're open to suggestions, I would take a look at the woodgrain pattern as well when making these tables. I noticed some people just cutting the wood and not paying attention to detail to where the grains match. Top wood goes vertical while bottom goes horizontal. Maybe its just me, but I notice these kinds of things.

I will admit I did cut the table in the G Sedan a little hastily and didn't pay attention to that, however this won't be much of a problem with the new process I have going on. Hopefully I will have a test fitted piece cut, and installed by the end of this weekend. We shall see, My normal test car is on the other side of Atlanta, the 2nd test car is in the body shop for work, and the third is the lowest static Q45 I've ever seen running -8* camber in the rear so he is picky on driving it around.
