Here's mine so far. It's taken a while to get done, but it will look 'fully sik' when its finished. The funny speckled colour is because of the plastic putty. It will later be painted to match the other trim when the putty fully cures (1-3 months).
Screen is the 8.4" Xenarc TSV. Stupid thing doesnt auto-switch to reverse camera  , so I would suggest an 8" LCD to save yourself some fitting hassle and a lot of $$$.
My car is a 2002 VY Series 1 - Berlina.
PS> If you think the climate control was relocated, you're right. Otherwise the LCD is too far down the dash. Actually its a PITA to look at the LCD in the stock CD stacker location and too dangerous for driving IMO.

Its looks wicked with a FE running. But the standard Xenarc touchoverlay is too reflective. It looks great at night, but is horrid during direct/daytime-sunlight. Ive purchased an AntiGlare version from Duayn from MotorCity USA, and hope to fit it in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed it improves the daylight viewability - if not, I might send the LCD for TF/AG upgrade. (More $$$ spent).

Great work on the centre console it looks good
To help combat glare tinting the windows does help alot and u can get a light anti glare type of tint on the back window aswell

I do have my windows tinted allover (except front). Perhaps I'll get a darker shade. I did ask for darkest legal (and perhaps a little darker), but all I got was this crappy T-shirt, errr.. I mean, all I got was a semi dark tint - I've definitely seen cars with darker!
Should have the new AG touchoverlay in a week. I'll post before/after pics.

Well not much u can do besides maybe tinting ur front windshield lightly with the glare stuff
Newer cars sometimes come with tinted front windshields so if you get that it wouldn't be tinted much at all but it will help with glare.
Where did u get your tint from?
I've been to 3 places and all of them only carried the one tint with the same %

It was done through the car yard I bought it from. But I think the place was in Chesterville Rd, Moorabin. Had to get the rear window re-done (hence I found out where it was done). Also, thats when the tinting guy told me his car was getting brand X tint put on his - which was the best - and that mine was only brand y, so to speak.

Who me drunk?!?! lol.
Good to see you are still around NIN. I definately plan to make it down there for one of your meets one day. Unfortunately with my first child being due in about 6 weeks, I ain't going anywhere for a while! Maybe we could have a national meet towards the end of the year.
