Looks great! Anyway to talk you into doing a full ashtray LID replacement panel? I'd obviously have to epoxy it in... I could send you one of the ones I make but it is as simple as tracing the lid and adjusting for one curve...
If I had a M6 I'd be all over the plate you have but since I have an A4 when I put the lid up I'd block my gauges...
I'm kind of with Brian on the ABS thing as well but I can't envision how you light the ABS without just being cut out...

Sorry, my mistake... I didn't mean it that way. I'm looking to totally remove the lid and then have just a plain panel cut the shape of the hole (left when the LID is GONE) that I can epoxy in from the bottom making it just a flat panel replacement...

I too would be interested in more of an ABS/textured, non shiny look. Everything else I have done to dash area has kept to more of a stock appearance. I would be ecstatic if you could also offer something to blend.

I do not supply the lighting. What I will do is laser etch the lettering, and leave it alone. When you put a light source behind the uncolored lettering, it becomes backlit. I will not be supplying any LED kit for these. You'd have to do that yourself.

If i were to get the ashtray plate for my M6 car, and you laser etch the lettering. then where the stock amber light is, all i would need to is replace lets say with a red light and the lettering will lite up red? Is that how the pics with your A4 ashtray works?

It will have to be up to the customer to supply those kind of switches. There are literally too many types and variations for me to do them all. I'll that I'll offer is what you see above.
