Beautiful car, the speaker setup and the plexi are very clean. I really like the tails!

Took out the factory NAV and replaced it with the new Alpine pulse touch screen with the vehicle hub. Then there was no use for the factory radio so i relocated it and added some additional LED gauges to the dash. I finished it with some molded plexiglass that I smoked the same as the tail lights.

Very nice... you gotta be extra careful with that plexi though, because it'll get scuffed and scratched very easily.

Do I see a crack at the upper left screw?

Excellent work... not too many people did so many things to their 8, maybe except devoid.

It looks like that sub / amp setup in the trunk is hella heavy... on the first pic, it appears that the rear of the car is sitting lower than the front

I did crack the plexi on the last screw...figures...but we are in a process of making a new one now.

We were able to cut down on the scratches by adding a layer of clear coat to the front face. Regular plexi scratches way too easy

I must say, it does look VERY nice. Your attention to detail shows. I'm with the other guys on the debadging though.....especially with the money you've got to throw at this car. It'll look GREAT with the MS kit. Good job

The 2 lower ones are for my amp temps. The top right is an Air/Fuel mix level. The top left is for the volts and the large center is a speedometer so the passenger can actually see how fast you are going. All this really does is enable the person next to you to bitch about how fast you are going. The cool thing is that it has readings for:

0 to 60
1/4 mile times
0 to 100
lap/split times
