I've made a model and printed a few out, they test fit in my friends car ok, although I strongly encourage you using some insulation foam on the 3 clips to make them fit snugly. I'm considering modifying the design to make the clips larger, but they might snap off and break on installation, so there's a delicate balance there. I'm open to some feedback on them. I'm considering adding more clips or something.

I thought I'd post a link in case anyone wants some of their own. I was hoping they'd turn out a lot cheaper, but even on shapeways they are around $100 in just materials cost. Not making any money at this point just trying to recoup the cost of my scan and help anyone out who also is really annoyed by them being missing on so many cars out there.

Is there any way you would be willing to sell just the file?
