awesome man

I pulled that oval black panel off to test fit everything.


using the OEM substructure, it looks pretty damn good. I think I'm going to just apply 3M double sided tape and stick it to that backing structure. There looks like I'll have plenty of surface for the tape to stick to for a good bond


now I gotta figure out how to move that powerpoint into the ash-tray. looks pretty simple. i think I need a simple 1" holesaw and I'll be set. the OEM mounting hardware for the cig lighter should be re-useable down there





btw, that was a very well spent $25. I highly suggest y'all get one. Krohbar is alot cheaper than the Expy emblem ($50+), and it will look a hell of alot cooler once I get me some LED backlighting

Look forward to seeing it installed, Tylus. Seriously considering one of these.

Massive thread bump!

I'm interested...again... In doing this. Brother in law says he can cut it for me, but wondering if Krohbar is still around to provide some information?
