looks good!

maybe it's just the picture, but the last image makes the screen look like it's crooked, is that the case?

textured paint should be easily found using google.

Looks good. A lot different approach to what I'm doing, but to each his own.

Instead of going textured paint, why not paint it to match your exterior paint?

Also, what's the name of your body kit and where did you get it? I really like it and want to get something similar.

from experience - the textured paint is much more durable and stays looking better longer.

it doesn't show fingerprints as easily, or imperfections. that and color matching has been done quite a bit already....(doubt that matters though)

Yo estoy en la ciudad de mexico y te puedo conseguir una pantalla touchscreen a buen precio.

En cuanto a la pintura, claro que es posible! Ve a cualquier autoboutique especializada en pintura automotriz y veras la variedad que tienen. Si no, localiza al distribuidor o proovedor de la marca en Mexico.

leme test my spanish reading skills from 12 years ago...

I live in Mexico City as well....and I have a touch screen in my car that works well? (unsure on that last part)

Find a shop that specializes in automotive painting. There is no local distributer for the paint you want in Mexico?

god, I bet that's so far off it's funny...haha

LOL thats what i was thinking too...I alwasy sucked in spanish class...

But thats the general gist i got as well...

And it makes sense...A shop that specializes in painting would be able to get what you needed...also they might have ideas on the textured/not issues.

Not that bad... I was actually telling him that I knew where to find the touchscreen in Mexico city.

I was also telling him that the paint should be easy to find in a a bodyshop specialized in paintjobs, either that or try to locate the distributor for any brand that produces texturized paint. That's how I've found must of the weird stuff I have...

I was actually quite surpriesed when I looked in the paint department at Wal-mart and they have textured paint.

You might also try eastwood.com. I guess they specialize in car parts but I ordered their catalog and it had several textured paints on the last page.

I like what you've done but I still don't like Neons, no offense of course.

And I don't like Hondas, no offense. Now the world is in balance. (But I got to admit I like where your going with your install, the rear armrest in particular is pretty sweet.)


Where did you go xpluisdf? I want to see some more updates!
