Hey thanks, I got the sticker from one of the guys at the first meet I went to in chicago, Any place that makes vinyl stickers could make one for you.

Update April 11th

I got a little further on the bezel so I thought I would post a couple more pics

I like to tape off the areas That I dont want to get filler in because I like to apply it gererously so I only have to apply it once and sand down the rest.




Filler applied and tape removed.



All filler sanded down.



I forgot to take a couple pics but I did spray primer on to get a better visual of the pinholes that body filler leaves. and then I put on a layer of glazing putty



Buying update!
My Iguidance 3.0 (legal version) and BU-353 came today
Yesterday I picked up a linksys HGA7S wifi antenna this will be mounted on the a-piller.
I also got a SMA 7ft extension cable so I dont have to use the base for the antenna.
Power supplies will be here tomorrow

Well I got it all in and running today but ran into a few snags.
1. had trouble with the screen mounting because wires come out the rear.
O.K notch the rear cover to allow clearence!!
2. wasnt paying attention andkilled the harness fot the touch controler.
Need to find a place to buy one if I can.
3. body filler keeps breaking away from the monitor
Im going to try to build it up some
4. Had to drill a hole through plexi to run the mb switch and a ground up and cracked the plexi.
The least of my worries but will fix when everything is working right.
Will try post pics tomorrow

I figured out why the monitor keeps cracking on me!!! there is moisture under the filler, so i guess I need to sand it down and start over. well here are some pics of the system up and running. I am still waiting on the extension cable for my wifi antenna so there are no pics of that yet.

Here is a pic of the Glovebox shut



Here is a pic of the P.C in the box You can see where it broke infront of the atx plug.



Here is another pic of the P.C. from the driver seat



Ashot of the monitor



and for anyone that was wondering what my audio looks like, It is still under construction also but here are a couple pics

I just got the Elemental Designs SQ10 and this thing is awesome in just .5 ft3 and of course my Zapco 500.1 and 360.4 amps. I also have some gray vinyl that I picked up a month ago just havent had time to put it on.



Also My DSP-6 processor, I need to move it over to center it and also build an enclosure for it but there is a cover for it so that can wait



Aron

Zapco DSP-6, Very nice...... That is what i will be getting if i cannot get all of the software Xovers, EQ, and delays working properly in my rig..

Love Some ZAPCO
