Thanks for the comments guys. To answer some questions
01RedT/A my specs are a MII 10000 VIA EPIA, 512 RAM, M2 ATX, and Xenarc 700TS. And of course, I modified the bezel myself.
SmokeySS Yes, they do work. Thats because of some smoke and mirrors I have going on, I still have my headunit, its just hidden behind the dash.
BLk01SS I have a Olympus 5050 I love this camera, with a tripod it takes really good pics even without a flash.

Really wish I had a 98+ interior... looks like the install was pretty straight forward on getting it molded into the bezel. I'm in the process of redoing my carPC's bezel right now, and man it's hard getting the 93-96 radio bezel to look good with a 7" touchscreen in it, haha. Any case, looks sweet, buddy! Good job!

Hey DirtyBird222 its not too hard to do, all you need is the right parts, mobo, power supply, monitor, case, and have some knowledge about building a computer. Also, not being scared of taking things apart! Theres tons of info on mp3car.com, thats how I figured out everything. If you need more info though, you can PM me and ill explain.
1sicv6 actually its not backwards, the logo spins around.
Hey meissenation glad you like it, seeing you working on yours motivated me to finally finish mine. Fortunately, like you said, the 98+ bezel is a LOT easier to modify than the one you have. Cant wait to see what youve come up with.

So the stock radio is behind there, huh? So it's just acting as a dummy unit for the sound to go through? I can see how that would let the steering wheel control the volume, but how do you change the tracks?
Is there any link between the steering wheel and the PC?
Here's some more F-bodies with PC's in them if anyone is interested.

You got it, no I cant change the tracks with the wheel, but thats fine, it is a touch screen after all. So no, there isnt any link between the PC and the wheel at all.
