its not the fact that your mounting something it is the fact that you are mounting something INCREDIBLY huge and ugly

its the fact that youre mounting more weight and electronics into the "Track" version of the car. If you wanted creature comforts maybe you should have gone with the touring version? That's all. Everyone gets to buy whatever car they want for whatever reason, just like everyone gets to give their dumb comments when you post about it on an internet forum. Some people will agree others wont, just gotta know how to deal with it.

From a design aspect, the ipad is far from ugly...it looks amazing actually. It's just out of place in this car, kind of like a stripper at church.

If it's easy to take out, I think it actually looks kind of cool.

Then again I'm thinking more about the functionality then the looks.
And I get the "wanting to keep the dash original"...

Default Ipad

The car is strictly a show car. I don't plan to race it. The only time it would see a track is at the Pepsi 400 parade lap. Even though its a track car, I don't see why I can't have simple ammenities like bluetooth, or Navi. Also, the IPAD is only mounted on long trips or going somewhere new. Its not there all the time. Although I should use it more often. I am starting to like the music library.

I organize and attend a lot of car shows, so the portability aspect of the current setup is perfect for me.

Obivously you are missing the part of the thread. The whole point of having the current configuration is so that I could easily remove it when I don't need the ipad like at shows.

I see where people are coming from, I would of liked to see like the wire hooked up to this and you placed it in cubby hole, or passenger seat just as like a thing to do so you can hide it or take it out....

Or get two of them and use it as your rear wing on your civic.

This is how you put an iPad in a car



If you have a passanger with you, then you're out of bluetooth, nav and music? That's not very convenient IMO

Have you seen our cubby hole? Its 2/3 the size of the ipad. Has anyone been able to mount it inside the cubby hole? I thought so!

Well if it doesn't fit, did you consider other alternatives? You red nismo is way too hot to ruin with an iPad that looks way out of place.. in my opinion of course.
