its working pretty good. i really enjoy it. especially the manual mode along with the drop resistor mod .
i haven't had time to adjust the maps for automatic mode yet cause i've been too tired and lazy.

I think I wet myself a little when I saw your clock replacement. I think thats definitely one of the coolest things Ive seen. ur like an led monster. kudos on bein able to do all that wiring and without horrible incident. looks clean and professional I used to work at a custom shop and thats exactly how it would have looked if we did it. big up's!!

Going to agree with ya. It looks way too busy right there.
What do all those switches do? It looks like there about six of them?

well i don't know how else your supose to do a bunch of switch setup. i didn't like the plastic rocker types so i just went with these. i dunno but it looks better in person IMO.

and thats what the tint is for.....knock on wood

its 8 switches by the way. and i couldn't figure out how to conceal 8 switches so thats the approach i took. plus i don't know how to work molding or fiberglass work and what not.

top switch panel controls O/D, drop resistor, manual rad fan control, speed limiter removed, fog lights, and gauge lights.

bottom two controls the suprastick, one on the left for auto/manual mode, one on the right for map 1 or map 2 for automatic mode.

Surprised you didn't do push buttons with more LEDs haha. I don't think it looks bad. Looks clean for a DIY job.

thanks man.
yeh some of those switches are SPDT and others are SPST. the four middle ones were the only ones that still had the same style so i went with those.
those switches can be pretty expensive...lol

Just a side note man, I think it would look even 'cleaner' if you found a way to mount the switches on the bottom face of the flip down tray. As in, the door would close when you wanted to 'hide' them and you could flip it open to access any of the switches.

And thats a solution for all you haters...

Inside of the center console is another great place for hidden switches. I have the on/off (valet) switch and reset button for my carpc in there.

I think the silver paint looks dumb with a black interior. But then I'm a big fan of the stealth install.

My guess would be that he just has it in there temporarily to program his suprastick.

I think it looks awesome. Not sure what crawled up those peoples' asses and died.

I think the blue looks especially awesome.
