Default custom ipod holder...what do you think?

Since im getting a head unit that has a touch screen and can control my ipod, im thinking about making a custom place to set my ipod. so heres my idea....im my 93 gt, i want to put the ipod in my center console right where the ash tray/cigarette lighter is. so im gonna relocate my cigarette lighter to somewhere hidden so that i dont have a bunch of wires (like ipod charger and radar detector) hanging in the middle of my console. and then i want to shape the ashtray area to fit my ipod snugly. does anybody have any ideas on what i could use to shape that area? i was thinking bondo maybe...i have no experience at all with fiberglass so thats pretty much out. any ideas would be awesome...thanks in advance

I made a charging station for my cell phone a while back. I cut the holes for thewires to go through as well as a small one for the belt clip to go through. I glued the phone holder where I wanted and then put the phone in it(after the glue dried of course) with the charging cord plugged in. I then glued the cordto the dash so that it would not move when I put the phone down or removed it. I then used bondo to fill the area around the cord and holder and smoothed it out. It looked pretty good when I was done and at least my dad thought it came with the truck. I smoothed my radar detector into my clock in a similar fashon, I am not sure what page it is on in my sig.......

if the touch screen unit is going to control the ipod i am sure it will also display the text from the ipod

why you want to mount the ipod ? just leave it inside the glove box or center console
you don't need to see it anymore
