a little update........

Ok some of the folks from tony's bbq remember seeing my carputer in its alpha stage. the screen was clipped on and i had to reach behind my seat to turn it on each time. Now its in the beta stage. the screen is flushmounted below my head unit. and the **** for the factory radio below the one for the climate control now turns it on and off. the pics are crappy because the batteries for my camera died and i couldnt be bothered to go get one, so i used my phone.

edit: thanks trukn for cleaning up the pics, will post better ones tomorrow

sorry guys but the black interior is just going to attract heat and cause the computer to overheat, so it has to be a tan interior. as for the coupe vs 4 door argument im still working on that
