Looks good. If I can offer a recommendation though. It looks like you've attached it with Velcro. If you did... Just periodically keep an eye on it and check it. I've tried all sorts of Velcro on another item in the same location and n warmer weather... It tends to lift/peel. Even the industrial str/ made for plastic stuff. Would hate to have it slip and move towards the pedals.

If it's not Velcro..... Please disregard.

Haha yep! I am just waiting for my antenna to come in. But I moved the cig lighter plug to the rear plug and ran the wire under the seat so it looks cleaner up front now
