    Installed. It really doesn't hold much, but I like it, it makes the console more "finished":

    Repurposed an old leather jacket. I used the 5 screws under the lid to hold it and tied up the loose ends with needle and thread, but i think im gonna use some aluminum rivets every 4" or so around the edge to hold it better and un-ghettofy it.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I found a website online on how to hack the Nuvi, it allowed you to change any of the words to what you wanted. Sorry it was a long time ago so I don't have a link.

    Another mini mod I've been working on. I had three switches laying around and decided to put them to use. Problem was none were exactly the same. Had to sand off the "ON" on one and sand down the white dot on another then masked them and gave them a coat of paint. They're not perfect but not too bad. One now switches the rear 12v outlets in the rear so I have control over the kiddos gizmos. The other two I'm not sure yet but they are there and ready to go.

    Prepped and encouraging stickers. :D

    Painted. Eh, they almost match. :eek:

    Sorry for the blurry picture. Two are for seat heaters, one is for the bed LEDs and one is for the ejector passenger seat. All hooked up save for one which you probably can't guess. ;)
