Looks good nice and clean install. Got to tell the passengers don't move that seat too much though.

you should consider painting the monitor bezel completely black so it looks much more OEM...

Is that Centrafuse, Roadrunner, or Frodo? Looks great! +1 for carputer SC guys...

I would also like to know what software you're using. Right now I'm using Frodo and the words are too small...

Thanks for the compliments!

I am using Road Runner at the moment. Have not tried Frodo. RR works well and I am happy with it. Still have to tinker with the skin a bit to get everything looking good though.

I though about it, but in actuallity it does not look out of place at all, the flash lightens the screen some, in normal light it looks almost as dark as the rest of the console.

The seat actually moves fine, it is a little desceptive on the picture. The PC is actually attached to the seat so it moves with it.
