Default Did something cool!!! ;)

here is one pic, now to put everything back together



I had to cut the back just a bit. I know it's not a "clean cut" but I didn't care since you can't see it.



and then all back together going into the car now.



done.

That is awesome. I wish the V1 had a spot to mount a gauge like that. I am not to fond of the ashtray mounted ones.

aeroforce is correct, and they made the "v" plate for it as well. Anyone can get one now.

I've always liked mods that retain the stock look and utilize the spacing, good work.

No it doesn't have a clock function that I could find but im willing to loose that. And I can put the clock back in as I didn't alter anything permanetly.

so buy the face.

all it is is the face, and you can change them out.

Show them my pic, they made em, and will sell em.

the guy I talked to at the aeroforce place was called Todd. just email there sales account.
