Are you on Crack? Thats Huge!!!
It looks like something from pimp my ride!

Rockstar · 06-15-2010, 01:06 AM

Not really you gotta see it in person and I like the size a lot

Chris_1 · 06-15-2010, 01:21 AM

It is a tad big for the Z, I wouldve lowered it more though, it just looks like its sitting too high and not flush enough. I dont know how the Ipad works, but do you have am/fm, is the sound quality better?

Internet radio FTW.

370Z JT · 06-15-2010, 02:00 AM

the custom mount is awesome! but yea, looks too big! maybe if it was 1/3 smaller then yea.

Rogue Z · 06-15-2010, 02:19 AM

do you take that out every where you go? if not it looks like a smash-n-grabbers dream...

Jordo! · 06-15-2010, 03:02 AM

How does it look turned horrizonatally.

It's big, but it's not too big -- it's an ipad, so what do you expect?

"Perfect" would be something no bigger than the standard navi screen. That's a lot bigger, but IMO not excessive...

Doesn't look like it can be turned horizontally in that "mount". Looks like the center piece was re-designed for it. What's the EQ thing below it with the blue lights? You should disassemble it and put in some red/orange LEDs instead of the blue. I've done that on fan controllers and other items; not too difficult really.

doesn't flow with the dash lines at all, sticks out too much, if you plan to just leave it in there without any capability to hide it, have fun replacing your iPad and windows because someone will smash and grab that thing. kudos for being one of the first installs, but could be better imo.

yeah i think the ipad stick outs way to far... careful when driving too because law enforcement may pull you over for having this obstruction or this awesome distraction

Good luck and great mod

it looks like a construction worker's checklist clipboard slapped onto the dash with velcro or something.

bigaudiofanat · 06-15-2010, 10:37 AM

Imo looks bad looks like its not really secure and sits up to high. I agree with the smash and grab deal.
