Would you do anything different if you had wood grain trim kit on your dash, as far as bondo/prep work?


Ordered my dash kit yesterday.
For the trim pieces i just used an 1/8" thick black abs plastic no particular brand or style. Glue for the back of the trim pieces to hold it in I used hot glue, some people might prefer different but it worked great for me. As for Bondo I just used an autmotive body filler with hardener. You can get them at the auto parts store in little tubes. One with the white bondo and one tube is the red hardener. As for the woodgrain, that is a good question as I do not know what I would do for that.

I'm an iOS app developer. I was wanting to know if there's any interest for you guys doing the iPad installs to have a custom app made?

Thanks!

Besides being able to control the hazard/traction control harness I don't have any more ideas currently. (The full size iPad install requires the move of the harness if I remember correctly) So the mini owners may not need this

I would like to see other ideas thrown out from you all!

The best one would be n app that controls the heating and ac.. That way any iPad/tablet mount can be done with the radio controls relocated down where the ac controls are now.. That's just my opinion of course
