Well I've been working on this project for a long time. I think i'm finally finished with it. took me around 6 months. with a TON of fabrications. before that. I had never fabricated a thing before. So, I read up alot on mp3car how people did it. I knew what I wanted to do. just.. not how to do it.

The only problem I had to deal with is all the glowing the inside does at night and people stairing in.. asking me.. hey, what type of system is that.. lol


first I started with the center dash carputer, running roadrunner and a heavily modified freedom ultimate skin.



this center dash peice folds down when needed.





the carpc has Horm activated so it take about 10 seconds to boot up. using a laptop I removed the battery. so It's a clean bootup every time. Unfortunatly. since that is the case. it thinks that it's been online since the snapshot. hense my runtime being 300 hours


well anyways, back to fabrication..
I then decided to modify a pillar pod with an LCD. and air/fuel/voltage combo gauge and boost gauge.



when the music is off, it displays system stats.



when the music is on it display winamp stats.
and when I click on winamp visualization. it puts a nice little equalizer at the bottom of the lcd which looks sick at night.



.. a few weeks later.. I felt the urge to make somthing else..

so I decided to fabricate a reverse cam into my top tray..



of course It had to be hidable..



and my phone to stream internet radio or google earth. or anything else for that matter..



I think it's finished..





Yes, the carbra is coming off this summer before anyone tells me.. lol



tell me what you think. or if you have any more ideas

Nice work.

 

pretty cool man. the A-pillar looks pretty clean.

is your carputer screen motorized?

 

What kind of body kit is that?

 

Entire front end is carbon fiber (bumper, hood, and fenders) Hense the carbra for winter. veilside sideskirts, and tailkit. Need RIMS! lol. also need summer to hurry up so I can take off bra, repaint car (looking for black with blue pearl) and since the front end is grey carbon fiber, I picked up some black carbon fiber vinyl. going to 2 tone it (carbon fiber 2 tone).. will look sick with done.

I was going to motorize the carputer. but. it just ended up being too much work. so I just made it swivel. I had planned on using a cd-rom drive eject mechinism as the screen lift. but, I'll save that for summer after i'm done with the rest. Damn new england winters!

 

How about this.

:o hell yeah, I can probibly embed that in roadrunner.. thanks for the link

 

Very Nice! I like it.

 

Technically cool !!! Nice work.

 

nice! just gotta clean up those wires that are hanging out and hide them and it will be amazing.

 

thats f'n sweet

 

that is sweet, im jealous, i wanted to something along these lines but didnt have the time...

 

i want one...

 

That's very, very cool.

 

Nice... next step, hard wire the radar detector, http://www.escortradar.com/9500ci.htm.

 

wow dude, amazing fabrication work. next...only thing i can think of is rims. car is looking great dude. good job

 

nice work man..

 

wow that interior looks clean... now you need to throw in some guages where the cig. lighter is... that would look really good

 

I know this is off topic but..is that the Verizon Phone? I really want it and am looking into it How do you like it?

 

Very nice job! Which Lilliput are you using? Is it transreflective? How's the readibility during the day?

 

Kid youre a f*cking genius man! That's awsome!!

 

i love your gauge set up!

 

Yes, that's the xv6700, probibly the best phone IMO for modding. I can use the thing as a wifi hotspot if I want.. the xv6800 is out, but not as moddable.

 

I think it's a lilliput 617. it's not transreflective. but, I can read it fine during the day.

 

Cool thanks!
