Let me guess, you want to shim the LCD out and put a clear piece of plastic where the X1000 is so you can still illuminate it? Probably how I'd do it if I was going to do it anyway. lolQuote:

And the bottom edge of the stock clear piece (at top edge of the LCD) will have to get painted black so it doesn't shine light onto the LCD.Quote:

Drove it to work. I need my seat covers to arrive faster. I'm tired of looking at these disgusting cracked seats. Faster Mitoska! lol
i've never had locks on my volks, but then again, most people don't carry around a 12mm hex-wrench. most of the shops i've had my car in--i've had to provide them a tool to get the lugs off. i'm not too worried about casual thieves.Quote:
