Thanks paul! Just wait and see. I have the bottom wrapped in cf. Just trying to figure out what im going to do with the stock navi control spot (I will most likely make it a center channel) before I do the top part.

Once again, great setup!!!
Thank you very much I will be writing a partial diy for my new site soon, I apologize for the delay. Im in the process of wrapping up the console with carbon fiber the relay controller should be here shortly so I can finally call this project done.

This is beautiful- Do you have a link or diy tutorial you might share that shows how to do this "plastic welding" you talk about?

^Since I am now on stance coilovers and pretty much maxed out on those I have a pretty stiff ride. I started to get bluescreens when Id hit sharp bumps. The same drive I started with is still good and working like a champ however I have recently replaced it with a 128GB GSkill Titan solid state drive. It runs 2x64gb on a raid 0 internally to make it faster than a lot of the other solid states on the market.. On top of that with a .1ms seek time its very zippy. I love it! No more bluescreens over bumpers either!

I totally forgot about solid state drives, I'm really out of loop with the computer world.

Ever think of getting KP technologies push button start and hook it up to your finger print scanner.

Yes, I have thought about it, easier said than done. You cant just simply hook it up to the scanner and get it to work. The kp module would have to be wired to a relay controller with computer interface. The biometric application would then have to be programmed to turn that relay on when a valid fingerprint was given but like on any 04 I would still have to have the key in the ACC position for the module to function which definitely looses the luster to that mod. This would be more of a priority if I had the intellikey system. However, I do plan on hooking up the rear view mirrors and seat switches,dimmer, etc to a relay controller. That way a fingerprint can remember seat position, mirror position, how dim you like the console, etc. I have pages and pages of plans hopefully to materialize in the near future
