There is so much dam foam on top that its hard to make the surface flat. I'll worry about fixing it up when I get finished with the rest of the dash and trunk

I will definately have to do that. Since it was originally supposed to be an armrest I thought I should preserve a little cushion. And theres nothing I hate more than sanding.
Thanks for the advice, I'll get that thing shaped up in a couple weeks

Yeah, I can read the two furthest to the front, (AVCR and the SAFC2), The RSM was just added for filler and it acts more like a recording device anyway

Nice and a unique mod. As the other poster said, looks like it might be a little awkward to utilize.
