    I'm taking preorders now for the official product release later this month. Send paypal to.......... Just kidding.

    Luckily, I work at an automotive engineering shop that designs and fabricates turbocharger and supercharger systems. Lots of nice equipment to use. I imagine a simple canopy could be made from wood or something though.

    Seeing other people's projects gave me ideas/inspiration, so I was hoping that mine would do the same.

    I'd buy one for my 14, seriously.
    Well, I could perhaps be convinced to make a few. ;) I could replicate it in probably half the time it took to design and make the original. It wouldnt be much trouble to stretch the dimensions as necessary to fit your 14. Shoot me a PM if you really want one. I can price out your desired components and get a ballpark figure for you on price. It doesnt really save money vs. buying a commercially available one because I have to buy all the bulbs and what not at full retail. But it's nice to have something unique and have it exactly the way you want it with the bulbs you want, etc. Shoot if anyone else wants one, let me know. I could probably make a batch and possibly bring the cost down by getting components in larger quantities. I would love to trade the labor for coral or something.
