Cool

I always appreciate the time and effort people put into their systems, and this is no different. A few Q's come to mind:

Why the hump above the ancillary screen in the dash? And why not dye the plastic to be dark like everything else?

On the passenger side, the flow seems interrupted by the flatness of the panel with the "vibe" logo on it, and just seems like it is a bit out of place. I would like to have seen this more rounded off, or is the airbag still functional under there?

Overall, the effort was clearly taken to do a quality install, with fasteners hidden and panels fit properly. Props to the installer(s) and for spending the $$ to do it up.

Time and effort without a doubt. Actually the hump above is part of the design that matches with the shapes in the interior doors. I also don't have plastic. That would of been too easy and cheap looking to me. IMHO.

The piece in the center is done in Flock, with the dash, seats and whole interior done in leather and suede. As far as the dash, the flatness is also replicated on the other side as well. I cut the cluster and put a straight lens as opposed to the concave one are car comes with. When building this car I wanted a functioning airbag, so your right about the purpose.

Thank you, and thanks for your honesty

Give props, but be honest at the same time, right?

So what are the trim faces of the larger screens? Not the wrap, but where the buttons come through and the small oval logo is. Aluminum?

First statement was me agreeing with you - you said thanks for the honesty, and I said I will give props but give honest assessments at the same time.

And thanks for the clarification on the screens. Hard to tell that it's aluminunimum from the pics.

how do the subs sound? is there any cancellation? looks good. i personally woulda left the trunk alone but props to the effort made. dash looks good but i woulda painted the center trim and flocked the entire dash vs. vinal wrap. its too easy to see the waviness underneath that vinal.

of course its easy to pick things apart. killer install! LOVE the door panels and the center console in the back seat.well done.
