Hey, is the guy that won best overall car at Scion Exposed 2.0 on here? I'd like to see some pics and info on his carputer. That's what won him the show.

It is under the passenger seat facing the rear, for loading dvd's and what not. tC's really got messed over when it came to spacing and screen positions.

Are you doing the same mods in the same order as me? I'm doing the turbo, carputer, and then most likely the bodykit. Those are the big ones with a few small here and there.

As for the door, check out https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...light=carputer this guy has the door still but not sure if it's the same monitor.

Lol, not intentionally, but it looks like that's how it's going to be. I'm probably not going with a body kit though. I want to keep mine low key from the outside.

It will fit, but plan on it taking some time. I have a few pics, but don't have access to them at work. You do have to trim quite a bit of the Xenarc cover, and completely remove the back cover. But it is possible without modifying any car bits. I'll try to post pics later.

Awesome thanks! So if I trim the Xenarc, and remove the back cover, will I have to also remove or relocate the bottom buttons and IR? Will I have a lot of soldering? How did you mount it?
