I'm interested in that skin too. Its hard to find skins that have larger buttons that accommodate touch screens at small resolutions.

wow nice ride and nice setup man! i'm also planning to make a case out of acrylic...the biggest unknown so far is how to mount the slot-loading dvd-rom vertically and have it look kewl. also not sure how to attach the usb soundcard to the bottom...velcro maybe?

SAWEEEET!

Very nice setup man. I feel your pain on running crazy wires in a brand new car.....thank god for the orque wrench. Anyway, congrats, looks awesome...

btw, as a general comment has anyone else noticed the general tendency us carputer guys have to want to take apart and re-do an installation as soon as it is working? I had that happen with my first (glovebox) install. No more than 3 weeks before i had a new plan

The case looks nice, even if you are gonna trash it!

Great install. How did you mount the LCD?

I keep clicking on this thread expecting to see an automotive golf club, and am disappointed every time.

Very nice car!!! I like your case

moltensilver · 06-01-2004, 08:21 AM

Thanks for the http://www.performance-pcs.com/ link. That is a great site for us custom guys. Case looks good too.

I also am fiberglassing my trunk for my car comp. and sub and am documenting the process for a tutorial web site. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Perhaps we can share notes.

Ummm one more thing.... Why the Land Rover skin? That isnt a land rover is it?.....

later, moltensilver

Sure, I think I'm going to start it either on saturday or sunday. Depending when/if/how i get my sound daedaning done. I'll post some pics in this thread once i have something decent looking

I was just playing around with the skins, it's not a land rover it's a 6!

Just need some decent weather again, it's been miserable for past 5 days.

Don't throw it away, I'd be interested in buying it...

[iG] · 07-18-2004, 11:00 PM

I didnt

Yet! Updated with two new shots of the finished fiberglass enclosure for the amps (instead of the spare wheel

) & interior led install.

Now all I need is to replace my factory pedals and those picture will look so much better!

Also finally upgraded the audio!

Front: JL XR650 CSi's - Components
Rear : JL XR570 CXi's - Coaxials

Fronts and rears!

JL 300W/4 Channel amp powering the soundstage.

Shipping as we speak. JL 12W6v2 D4 sub

Next purchase on the list is JL 500/1 amp for the sub!

I've already started sound deadening the trunk for it

Deadnick · 07-18-2004, 11:11 PM

That is awesome! However you can't go though that much trouble building a computer enclosure for the trunk and not molding the screen into the dash

Its against the law I think

imprezive one · 07-20-2004, 12:53 PM

Just curious, is the screen capable of flipping back into that "pocket" on the top of your dash when not in use? That's a great anti-theft solution if it does. Nice install, really clean, I love it.
