The carputer is super cool. Very nice job.

I like everything but the bra. Ever considered a clear one?

So you put a carbon fibre front end on your car and then you put that ugly *** bra on it to cover it up?

Yeah, at least for now the bra stays on.. I'm looking into a clear bra. just don't want to get any damage to the bumper from rocks.

has EVERYTHING you need to know about carpc's.. inc software, and how to build them.. I actually built this for my rx8 for around 300$.. that's the price of the screen and supplies for fabrication.. already had the laptop sitting around. Might as well put it to good use. 1 and 1/2 weeks to fabricate it and then install it.

alot better than spending 1200$ on the navi upgrade...

The thing with those vinyl bras is that if left on for long periods of time they cause more damage than not having one.

how about taking the bra off to take some pictures at least. i think we're all good at imagining what things look like under the bra but getting to see what's underneath without it is so much better.

Get rid of that rediculous bra.. if you really need one just get a clear bra installed.

That's bra is like putting a wart on a supermodel. Road chips are a fact of life whether they happen now or after you take it off, they will happen.

ok, well, I'll take the bra off after this winter.. I live in New England.. and well. I really don't want to chip the 3000+ carbon fiber front end.. But, as i can see from all the replies.. I need to get a clear bra. or remove it..
