Not feeling the roof. Partly because its flat and not gloss, and partly because that looks been done to death.

Video of roof since pictures didn't do it justice

Something cool I found while installing my Hdmi cable. There's another 12v cigarette lighter thing when you remove the glove compartment. I thought it was cool, going to charge my phone from here from now on

^ Very interesting spot for a cigarette lighter. Can you have something plugged in with the glove compartment closed?

Yes sir! The way the glove box is shaped a long the back let's you close it without a problem.

Hmmm, that 2nd cig lighter would be good for powering a dashcam without having to mess around with hard wiring it (these are becoming very popular around Toronto for insurance fraud prevention). Just need to run the wires down the pillars and into the glove compartment somehow.

You can do a lot of cool things with it, and like you said hiding wires would be super easy

What do you mean HDMI cable?

Lonewolf · 05-28-2012, 10:32 PM

Yeah, the vid shows everything much better. With that said, a high gloss black would look better on the roof...how easy is it to swap out what you have for some glossier black?

I actually think it looks good with the roof wrapped up.
