My only concerns with the iPad are:
But I'm just being devil's advocate here. If there's a way past this I really would like the console shift. Maybe a touch screen? I don't know, back to Google searching!
- Wiring it into the sound system, I can at least run the Mac Mini through an AMP
- Integration with a removable Hard-drive (Song and Video Storage)
- Be able to run a USB Internet Connection (Uses Cell-Phone Signal). This will allow GPS, Pandora, etc..

- wire it up like a normal ipod to a hidden HU, most people put it in the glove box
- duh the ipad is the removal hard drive
- doesnt ipad have a cell service plan?
I may have to do some photochops of the iPad install. I know I read a build up over on http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/car-pc-forum/ So I know that it can be done. I'm just not totally sold on it yet. Back to the drawing board... 
So... here you go... thoughts...

personally i think the dash should come more straight down. Feel less like you're sitting in a barrel or tunnel, and more like the console meets the dash, not the other way around.
if that makes sense

I think that I understand. I want to do another sketch, I had an idea in the truck a minute a go while I was looking at everything. But I'm just grabbing a coffee
really quick before work. I'll try to post something up tonight, and if it's not what you were saying maybe post a quick sketch up yourself just to clarify? Thanks!
Did a new chop this morning. I'm not totally sold on the carbon... I was just playing around with different ideas. Although at this point everything that's Carbon Fibre imagine that in Piano Black as well.
So I haven't posted in awhile (just too broke to do anything...). Anyway I just got an email from Tirerack saying that they have these in stock. Very excited for a classy, simple 6 spoke wheel. This may happen in the future (Assuming I don't find a set of '09+ FX4 Wheels).

Not great. I don't have a garage or anyplace to really work on stuff over the winter (gravel driveway in the snow is not happening). But I'm trying to save money and come up with ideas so when the spring hits I can get moving.
