    Default Getting ready for fiberglass!

    Ordered a mock up of my 7" widescreen touchscreen housing... getting ready to go all-out and glass it in the center dash! It's so conveniently the perfect size to be glassed in the 1 DIN area!!

    The sliders are going to be all turned to the "ON" position and the sliding levers deleted and pushed back... no adjustability as of yet, thought about some servos and such but its not worth it, with the microfilter clean and all vents enabled it flows just fine.

    The semi confusing part is this...

    I am deleting the drivers side temp control. Rather, I am deleting the position. I am replacing the passeners side temp control with the drivers side knob and hookup (essentially relocating) and leaving the passengers unhooked. This will give me the ability to over ride the temp by putting the switch to the CLICK positions on hot and cold, since those positions over ride the passenger zone temp gauge. The blower dial will remain standard.

    could you not have spunked the extra cash on a pop up screen or is it just the fact that the free standing screens are so much cheaper? dunno if i'd wanna modify my blower controls like that but each to their own! hope it works out the way you have planned, no doubt it'll look impressive when it's finished.
