Default Screen in '03 cubby--pics of installation process

the following link (below) contains self explanatory pics of an install i did last night for a friend. i did this install in my Z about a week and a half ago. the screen used is http://www.millionbuy.com/nesnstm7055.html from the pics you will see that it fits perfect. this screen is a touch screen but only for the functions of the tv. it is not VGA.

pictures are worth a thousand words, however, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Parts/Tools used for PS2 install: power inverter, soldering iron, solder, electrical tape or heat shrink, velcro and a Dremel

Default another project completed

here is another project i completed recently. i installed a 9-inch white neon in my engine bay. the wires are ran in between the hood and the hood frame. the wires are only seen at the exit points. the neon is wired to the battery. it has a on/off switch and is fused.

i will use this neon for night or indoor carshows only. it is removable because i installed it using velcro and male bullet connectors. pretty much a plug and play!

here are pics of my install









interior neons

Looks hot. Love the interior neons. Question, where did you get your carbon fiber battery cover. Looks slick.

Dang, you have to buy them in conjunction with the cf engine cover?

Also, do you have a picture of your engine bay in the day time?

I like the blue, I have purple neons in the same location and Im probably switching to blue to match my head unit.

Nice work my friend.

first off, thanks for the positive comments everyone!

here is another night pic with the neon. the camera was set to capture more light. i think this pic came out cool because all the detail that can be seen. I blurred the background for more emphasis on the engine bay.



pics of my engine bay during the day can be found here http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/609852

i didn't have to buy the CF covers with the engine cover. you might want to call and order.

not completely sure about which alpine adapter is best. i have never owned an alpine, i am strictly kenwood for head units. i would call alpine customer service, millionbuy customer service or just ask a local reputable stereo shop about which adapter is best.

the install took me about3 1/2-4 hours. there was some BS'ing so it could have been a shorter install. i am a slow installer for the most part, but my installs always come out very clean. i am a perfectionist, so takinging the extra time doesn't matter to me, the end results do. if you are knowledeable in car stereo installation, i would say it should take you roughly 2-4 hours (done right!).
