Not Bad

It's coming along quite nicely man. Still not a HUGE fan of the center dash being covered in suede but it looks good. I'm actually working on mine in the spare time that I have. I'm in the process of covering my dash the opposite way you did, with almost everything covered in suede except the center section (I'm reserving that for the carbon fiber insert). I'm also working on the double DIN with the Azentek Atlas CPC-1000 I'm about to get (Google it!) This thing is awesome! If only I could find the DIN for it....but it's looking good!

Cheap material. My pillars were covered more than year ago and they still look like before, no fade at all. And car used to be parked outside by almost a year.
Material choice is the most important. I have 35% tint on mine.

Trust me pictures don't give it justice. Besides I am not looking for acceptance, if you don't like it, cool, don't paint it like this, paint it satin black, pink, red, green or whatever color you want, I am sure your car looks better inside.
Pictures show quality work, color is just the matter of preference. But you can hate all you want )))

I Googled it, and the Azentek Atlas is cool, but this caught my attention even more......

However, I would think the enlarged mirror could cause some visibility problems.

The only problem with that Azentek piece is that it runs on microsoft. I have links somewhere there is company which makes units based on Linux. They years on the market already and they're so pimped that you can control windows with it and add whole bunch of other features to it. These linux based Dash Pc's are much more popular in EU and Japan. Here all that Dash Pc stuff is just starting.
