Talking ****Celica Carbon Fiber Car Computer Finished****

Hey everyone. I have had this done for a while now but never posted it up on here. For more details and pics check out my cardomain.

Basic Rundown:

-Computer is an HP omnibook xe3 so not fast but works well for my needs
-Screen is 7" VGA touchscreen in the celica JDM spec dash (hole for screen)
-Using Microsoft Streets and Trips w/ USB GPS reciever
-Glove box mounded 2 USB 2.0 4port each (2 in front 2 in back for cleaner install)
-Glove box mounted DVD drive
-Visor Mounted Keyboard on custom visor (had to make it larger)
-Using NeoCar Media Player for the Frontface

no i work/live in the dorms as an RA. i try to clearcoat and sand in the domrs but thats all i can w/o killing my residents

I have worked with i bleive 5 differnt "wrappers" (personal and company) if your interested in a specific piece i can direct u where to go. at the moment i am onyl endorsing www.topshopheadliners.com . They are one of the most expensive c/f wrappers as well as having premade products. but with the cost comes perfect prodcuts, great customer service and guarontee of parts. If you contact them for parts make sure ot say "Hombredelassrtas" sent u to see if they can hook u up

unfortunatly in the past almost if not all person c/f wrappers all get bogged with orders where their work gets shotty or just dont done. parts get lost. i've lost a bit of money doing this but unfortunatly i have become the guinny pig for most of the wrappers out there.
