I see...it did come out really nicely!! I guess you could have just slightly trimmed the holes for the buttons as well, but it you got no over-spray then it's a job well done ;)

I'm not a fan of the portion only because now you dont have an indicator of where you are with the A/C settings, otherwise its nice.

I still wanna see a backside pic, even though you said you were fighting with mounting issues.

also a small vinyl overlay on that part would be easy if i ever needed it, i just like it rounded out.

I maybe missed it above but is it a tuch screen monitor or regular?
Also two guys asked before, what are you gonna used in conjuction with?, onboard computer?, or ECU tunning/datalogic? or both???

The reason I'm asking is b/c I gonna do something similar in future, build a small onboard PC for multi purposes, movies, music, GPS navi., datalogic tunning and whole nine yards...

Yes, I'd like to see your final setup for the sysem as well. I'm building an aluminum chassis with rails to slide into the radio rails -- saying my motherboard will fit, havent measured.

I'm using a iTX 'shuttle' style mobo with a 2.4Ghz P4 + 256mb RAM and onboard vid/aud

I still have to figure out how I'm going to get the computer to interface with the Bose system, any ideas on that one? I have the Schosche adapter still for my current radio so I'm sure I'll need it again for this adventure. Power on for the amps may be tricky though. :(

I'll be using my system for: GPS, music, flicks, wardriving, and tuning (down the road PFC+dataloggit)

For those that know me well on this board, I tend to work on a project then get "un" motivated.... my rims that I am getting in today should motivate me to work on it more :rlaugh:
