I didn't want to drill into my speaker cover to mount the monitor stand to the dash . So got the speaker cover 3D scanned and printed at work so I can use it as a base for my monitor mount .
3D Scanning the center speaker cover
Raw STL file
Printing the cover
3D printed part on the left . Original on the right .

The 3D printed speaker cover fits like a glove . . I pop riveted it on to the monitor mount so the monitor mounts properly without ruining the dashboard .

Decided I will go back to pop up headlights again . Just waiting for my Sonar clear glass headlights to arrive . My old lenses are dull and brittle that's why I chucked them . Has anyone used the sonar headlights and can tell me if they provide better lighting than the stock crap lenses ?

Finally got my Power FC mapped . The power climbs still past 7000 and the map is super smooth . HKS T04E at 0.9 kg/cm2 with very conseravative timing at 1400 meters above sea level and 95 pump fuel . 325 hp and 340 nm on the wheels . Plenty space for more power .
