Hey there. Quick question: how did you attach your IceLED spots to the roof? Looks like they're sunk into the headliner, but what's actually holding them? Thanks. Looking good!

^^^ Actually, they are not. What you are seeing is only the top cover of the spots. The cover was removed, and dyed to match the headliner. B/C the spots are individually wired back to a ZEN, the connection allowing for a chain of lights, was desoldered and removed, thus leaving a flat circuit board. The circuit board was then placed back in the cover, and the cover screwed up to the headliner...so actually, its simply laying on top of the headliner. Hope that helps.

We'll see if that helps. I'll have to pull one of my floods apart and see if I can figure out what you're talking about. For now, all I have hooked up are my TRON tubes in the footwells and the trunk, and the two ZEN controllers that run them. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to mount my two floods. Instead of changing the color of the floods to match the headliner, I'm thinking of having my headliner reupholstered in black, and all the remaining gray trim pieces (sunvisors, oh **** handle, lights, etc.) painted to match.
Oh yeah...have you had a chance to play around with programming your IceLED's yet?

^^^ Escort SR7 controller! Below that, the black, long thin device, is the Andrea Electronics in-vehicle microphone for the computer.

^^ Naw, that's the storage box we're using to hold my extra bottle of oil, and jumper cables, and any other small items. So, just a storage box! :D

it would so suck to get this out of the shop and get rear ended....
All this money into a car on public roads for electronics. It is kool, but man - that would just scare the s*&T outta me if it was my gear out parked in a public place...
no car is safe.
Devoid - you got those flamethrowers they had in SA for awhile installed yet?

^^ Not to worry...there's no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people! :D Sorry, couldn't resist! Teasing aside, it is a webcam. Its a USB 2.0 webcam hooked into the computer. As you can tell from the picture below, its on a ball joint mount, so that it can be swiveled in any direction.
This camera will come in useful in 2 scenerios:
1. Misc driving, that I'd like to record, such as Brotherhood of the Dragon!
2. When being harassed by the cops, cause they're just jeleous of my car!
(Trust me, I have a feeling I'm going to get seriously harassed in this car by the po-pos) :p
As for the TV - I'll take donations for a big screen LCD!
Until than...it remains a storage box! :p

The big man is just tryin' to keep me down! In the meantime, I've taken the approach of being paged if someone gets to close to the car, and just running out with a metal bat in hand, and hitting whoever is near. Hit first, ask questions later! :p That's my policy, and I'm stickin' to it! :D
Oh, and skuzbucket...if I get hit (ie rearended) I'm coming after you!
Fair warning! :D
