Mine is done. Here are some pics of it installed.



Everything is wired up, except the window switches. They are next. The hvac is functional, and was a real pita to install. Had to run vacuum lines up the passenger a-pillar to make the mode selector work.

Sure, I don't have a ton of pics, but I have one of the back with the display out, and a pic of the front with the display in. It didn't fit worth a crap, so I covered the L display with thin tape, and set it in place in the console. I had to trim a little off of the sides to make it fit right, and then secured it with duct tape temporarily. Then I turned the console over so I could fill the gaps with bondo. I used a scribe to trim around the display while the bondo was still a little plyable. Then I let is set for an hour or so and popped the display out. Then I just sanded and fit the display until it looked right. Then I painted it.




Hope this helps.

NO it doesnt block the rear view, and NO it does not strain your neck to look at.

This setup is now in Vin's (Badazz514) truck.

Hey do you still have this overhead console in your truck?

I doubt it, unless he's changed his screen name when the Lightning crowd migrated...
