are you finished with this project?

That stereo looks completely lost there.

Not a fan in its current state. Since you did now you have to paint all the wood grain in the car to tie it all in. Dont forget the steering wheel wood grain as well.

That Is The Plan Al The Wood Grain Is Currently Off The Car Being Prepped. The Climate Controls Are Behind That Door. By Simply Pushing In On The Bottom Of The Door It Will Pop Up And Reveal The Climate Controls. The Bottom Illuminates At Night With The Alpine Logo.didnt Shom Up In Daytime Pics. Also It Will Be Getting My Company Logo Below The Deck. Thanks For The Input Even If It Is Negbative. At Least Its Not Childish:d Any More Opinions Are Welcome

Creative modification but the dash looks empty with everything hidden. I think having everything out in the open just makes it easier and looks complete.

I love my wood grain. It fits the car well, adds class and the look of luxury. Gay is a bit of a harsh word. Sounds as if you are attempting to state more of a fact than your opinion.

Anyway, I agree with most on this project. It does seem how ever that you have had good intentions and some creativity in mind so I would make attempts to further the project and I myself would ditch the head unit and get something a bit more fuller faced with a better fit for the look you are trying to achieve.

did you relocate the cigarette outlet? One of my major pet peeves with this car is the lack of power outlets, so i hope you kept the cigarette outlet!

I say gay because its fake.... doesnt even look like real wood... classy would be real wood...

Posted by: lincoln00

you want class buy a bently

Posted by: JWerner2

And fake carbon fiber is better? I guess regardless of quality it fits a luxury vehicle better as well? Looks real enough to me.
The LS has class, just not as much as a Bently. Enough for me.
