Sorry to have interupted ankur. That is a fantastic install. Obviously well thought out and really well executed. Did you do all the fabrication yourself? (I love that ccStick)

ankur · 02-27-2007, 02:58 AM

Thanks

I did almost all the fabrication myself, just gave the screen to a painter for painting. For the final install, took help from some fellow enthusiasts.

Here are some fab pictures :

Very impressive indeed.
Looks like it came straight from the factory.
Really like those up front USB's - very professional looking.

Cheers,
