Oh oh I am still doing it! I had some pics not upload right. I am waiting anxiously to get this accomplished!


I had a great pic of the back side of the pods. Instead of cutting and making new backs to the pods like Nathan did my dad and I took a painter's heat gun to them and re-molded the back end to turn out in the same way that Nathan's did, but in one clean curved piece.

Better check the fit against the windshield there Chris. Not much room to spare!

What hub did you use for your steering wheel? Do you no longer have airbag?

I'm changing things again....

Since RacePak now has the IQ3 Display available as a display unit for the G2X I can combine all the functions all the gauges do in a single screen so I've ordered one and have pulled the A-Pillar from the car.

It's going to be for sale...
