DROID X pod build for Mazda RX-8

I'm on my 3rd pod now for the ashtray in my Mazda RX-8. This time for my new Droid X. The previous pods were for my Sirius radio and then the DELL Axim PC.

You can read about the previous pods in this blog.

For the Droid pod I am using the Verizon Car Dock which happens to be a perfect fit with some slight modification by removing the top latch. Power and audio is now connected. What you see below is the initial mold. Once it warms up a bit I plan to finish the pod, but for now it fits perfectly and functions. I will most likely end up doing the same di-Noc CF wrap as a final finish as I had with the Dell pod.
