Default Interior mods... :)





Winter project... The switch next to the vsc is for the navi hack.. that thing is off the HOOK!!!! grounding the parking brake wire also makes such a bigger difference and much more ease in using the interface systems...

figured i would share what ive done so far as far as prepping... first time building a panel for my switches and anything that involves cutting up parts of my car for that matter...

next is running wires, figuring out my trunk setup.. and then getting some components in sometime before or after christmas..

Its the gauge for the air sensors that will display the air pressure in the 4 struts along with the tank. I figured that since Ill have a panel made for switches, I can add a couple of other things and centralize them.. The **** is the gain for my amp and the other switch is a manual override for the compressors. The key hole is for the switch box...

sounds like a plan - i've been trying to decide on spending the $$ or DIY. i was leaning towards the harness adapter as it doesn't involve cutting, but as you said, it is a lot of $$ for something you can do yourself. i'll hit you up once i decide about swapping amps and components.

mods are looking good, man. let me know if you need help with the design or build; pretty handy in that area at least. lol

chance - i know you added the aftermarket sub...did you also add an aftermarket amp to the surround speakers?

Nope just a new amp for the new sub I put in. No new amp for the Highs/Surround speakers

Default Thought I'd leave this here

I retrofit an LS 460 rear armrest into my 3GS
Had to widen some one bolt hole.
cut about 5 inches off the bottom of the one back plate door. And it's in.

Was wondering which year you got the LS armrest from? Also would you be able to take a pic of the section you removed from the rear access door?

it came from a 2008 I just unplugged the wiring harness attached. Only con it doesn’t fold up completely but it will stay folded up. May have the foam cut and redone to make it fit down the road. It other than that I love the extra wood grain and extra storage. Here how much I removed. My key fob for size reference. Thanks for the interest!
