Leathermagic? Damn, I wish I found that site sooner. I actually sanded, primed, and painted this 4 times. First cause the paint I used sucked, second time cause the I picked up the wrong shade of SEM paint, third because the paint cracked as some water vapor from the wet sanding caused some bubbles, and fourth is the latest you see.

About reception, the TomTom one still picks up full bars. I picked the tomtom one because it was the only one at best buy that could pick up a GPS signal in the store!

Anyways, after the daily commute, I really love the location. I can easily navigate the screen with my left hand while steering. The screen is much easier to read as its angled and closer. Also, I recieved a few stares to and fro work

Splash screen was made by replacing the startup picture on the GPS unit with a new one.

Regarding those with guage pods. I dont know... have a picture of it?
