It's worth the swimSpeaking of swimming.. The Ironman is going on today! I freakin hate Ironheads!! Sorry for that!

I like the system now. As long as you aren't watching F&F it's OK. Just don't start telling it to shut up or anything! Nice work again? What is happening with the radio?

5.1 surround sound, using the Dolby Digital sound card in the computer out to 2 amps.

It looks good though! I left a lip on mine, but either way. You are close! I would recomend one thing. Mold in a pencil holder that snaps in. I wish I did that with mine. Your fingers aren't the most exact thing to use on the touch screen panel.

I would strong suggest that you do it!

lol.

The buttons are brightness, input changes, and even offers volume through the monitor. It has a full touchscreen capability, but look at your monitor that you are using now. It also has an infra-red receptor, for it also comes with a control unit.

Sorry, been busy. You are not nearly done sanding. You will not be able to match the paint with the rest of the center console pieces. So, if you want it to look right, you will have to sand the whole thing. As far as the texture goes, it was sprayed on. Google the paint texture methods. It is a fine grit grain material and it is sprayed on. Then painted over.

here's what I did with my old 7

after

I suggest NOT sanding the stuff off if it is a 93. Try to get it off with something that will eat it away so the underneath is still smooth. It makes it real hard for a paint guy to do unless youve sanded it perfect and finished with a high grit. Also I had mine done with car paint and clearcoat. Turned out fantastic I wouldnt paint it yourself just throw a good body shop 150 to paint it
