yeah if the op likes it, that's all it matters i guess.

but that's not something i would ever do to my car, it just completely takes the luxury interior away, and looks empty. Not to make you feel bad or anything, but if you bring friends to ride with you, see what their responses are.

Very unusual...

i must say i much prefer the setup of the guy who put a flip up unit on the lower portion of the center dash replacing the CD changer... it was kind of low, but since the unit was tiltable it looked great.

I think the main problem with this is how empty the center dash looks now... thats such a huge space to fill, if i were doing a mod like this id put like a 11" screen hooked up to a mac Mini or something in that slot.

then again, im not trying to hate, if you like the mod then all the more power to you... im definitely liking the rims.

I gotta agree with this. The panel looks hideous

so you got rid of the temp control panel that actually would've still worked, and left the radio control panel that doesnt work anymore intact. interesting.
