Now all you have to do is put a turtle sticker on the clock and sell it for $700

Glad to see you two finally get together.

I'm shocked you weren't subbed to each others build thread.

That clock mod is awesome. Do the time adjust buttons do anything? I assume the silver button is to cycle between screens?

so the mod consist of removing the entire clock guts and replacing it with the internals of the quad gauge. the silver button switches between the 4 corners and the tank pressure.

That hardware is going to be gorgeous in the trunk. Almost steampunk.

Are you thinking of a wood trunk panel? Or laminate?

new thought about the steampunk aspect till you brought it up. i was just trying to keep similar colors. lol

I'm not about that wood life thats too.... i dont know, not me. i just dont like the look, although i'm trying to have a very nicely clean install.


i was supposed to drop off the car Friday morning but the guy postponed till Sunday night Monday. was hoping to play with the system but i guess i'll have to wait some :/

I think because of the copper finish with the copper lines, black trim with silver hardware. I think it looks great.

well unfortunately no air update. the installer rescheduled on me and i'm having the time of my life to get another.. :/

in the mean time i added some sound dampening to the trunk area and got tied of seeing the cord hanging off the bottom of the touchpad. Luckily there another port behind it so i got them dremel out and hacked up the mount. *excuse the ashy hands had to use a **** ton of cleaner to get the sticky off from the Velcro*

You can also upload it to myg37's host but it will dilute the quality a bit. And welcome to the family!
