That's hot! (and my name ain't Paris)

Is the radio dash kit custom or production?

Here's a shot of my headrests. Biggest LCD I could find that'd fit.

jdm oem front & rear bumper would make the car look a lot closer to the scale of the R/C!

Thanks Sway162. BTW, if you noticed, you can hear some minor tranny whine from my B&M SS in the last clip.

O.L.T., I like how clean and simple your monitors are. The dash kit IS the JDM OEM kit that I picked up from Nigel. I had to customize it by removing material before my AVIC Z1 would fit. I should be getting my PYLE video distribution amplifier today. Hopefully that will help clean up the video from my HU...if only I had my car with me **sigh**
