Very cool picture album you put together Anthony, KUDO's to you!

I am officially moved in, unpacked and back to designing. It is taking some time with the nitpicking job of adjusting each of the points around individually but it is nearly there. The front is in great shape. Main point of focus for me right now is to fix the port for the ignition button to mount and adjust around that area.

I took a few screenshots of the amount of vector points I am dealing with to make this happen. You may understand why this boring part is taking so long, especially if you think that I'm moving these mostly one at a time...

I overlayed the original scan in a blue so you can see where the cloth wraps around the stock dash. And also, you can see the low spots that I still have to work through. As a bonus it make the dash look like a spider-man suit LOL!

Once I finish the renders I will post them up here later today!

F**k me man so much detail it hurts to think about it X( haha it's looking quite nicely from where you first started man very nice indeed!

I mean I'm no pro or anything but that looks on point brotha! Good work haha.

And hey I also wanted to add another idea to consider. Maybe you could have an option where the ignition button can be changed colors with LEDs or something? Or sell the product with material options such as Carbon Fiber, different leather types/colors and stitching too? Just a suggestion for later down the road man.

Nothing some vinyl wrap or a paint can can't handle. I think just having a black bezel gives everyone the option to have it look stock or they can change the color to whatever they want

If you wanted constant wifi, you'd have to have one of those wireless cards, and they are $40 or so a month. So, unless you're a heavy commuter, it may not be worth it

I totally agree, you can get WiFi hotspot adapters through your local wireless carrier but to me that part isn't worth it to me. But simply being wifi capable most definitely is a requirement.

Hey thanks so much man! There has been too many hours spent on this lol!

I have been looking into aftermarket starter switches with LED lights so that's definitely a possibility! I kind of agree with @NickTurnon right now. I'm having to decide whether to get the dash piece injection molded through my local contact because of the complexity of the rear tabs. Or make molds to do carbon fiber or fiberglass, which could be fabric/vinyl wrapped, ect.

It all comes down to those pesky tabs making things so complicated...

Just a thought: if the tabs are causing problems for production, they could potentially be separate pieces that screw into the main piece. It introduces an extra point of failure, but it allows the tabs themselves to be manufactured separately and be replaceable. So depending on your goals it may or may not be preferable.

If I decide to stay with the molds over injection molding that is what I have been looking into. I had intended on using an epoxy mounting system. When it comes to production those tabs will most likely be too small and too oddly shaped to work well with the molds anyway. The screws may definitely be a stronger solution than the epoxy where room allows.

Wow you are really moving forward nicely! I like the "Spider Man" look, LOL.

Alright I finished the renders and got them uploaded to the photo album a little earlier. They are just a little more polished than the vector point ones from earlier. But I like them better lol.
