Wow, my paint was nowhere near that bad, in fact the overspray on the back looked better than that. . The last picture you have was the only defect mine had. I covered it with some glossy paint. You may want to send that one back

I'll probably install the kit tomorrow, stay tuned.

You have no idea..I don't visit casinos that often for that reason.

Seriously, do they not inspect these things when they leave? Either way, too much of a hassle for something I could probably wetsand and polish out. I got it into the daylight and it is really quite noticeable. ****. Weird, as the paint on the rest of the piece is absolutely fantastic. Smooth and extremely shiny.

Anyway, here's the finished product! I'll be picking up a small sheet of black vinyl to cover the white home button and maybe the front camera area later on, but for now it looks fantastic, I love it more than the original iPad in the dash, mostly because this panel looks extremely good compared to the POS full-size one I had originally in the truck. This one looks very comparable in proportion to the factory nav style, which I really like.





The part that someone screwed up on:

Anyone had any luck doing a 2013/14 F150 with the 4.2" screen ??

My truck has the trailer brake option so I can't relocate the 4.2" screen on the lower left column.
Was wondering if it would be able to be mounted on the right side column hole.

The $150 option from tko_818 I'm considering once I can confirm with pics on and off a 2013/14 truck what I'm buying.

Did you have to move the radio? Or does the iPad sit far enough forward to just go in front of the factory radio/CD player?
