I feel like ive about maxed out what i can tastefully do as far as internal mods and electronics, but i want your opinions and ideas so i can install more stuff! lol.

boost gauge
oil temp gauge
oil pressure gauge
Torq app gauges: intake temp, coolant, revs, load, vac, manifold pressure
Digital gear position indicator
backup camera w/ additional front mounted camera
tomtom gps
custom switch box with footwell led lighting, camera switch, garage door switch
inverter
interior door mounted flashlights
glovebox mounted window hammer
bluetooth audio clip deally
knight rider led strip in hood scoop
cobra radar detector w/ gps

man. thats a lot when its all listed! but, i know there HAS to be some more i can do! lay it on me!

hahaha! funny you should say that! i actually Wanted to do that! lol. actually, i was hoping to do that so i could send interference to police radar. not sure if thats "how it works" though. beating the laser guns may be easier than radar, mostly bc there is no restriction on what light your allowed to emit! so blasting return light in the 900nm range can confuse laser guns for a short time, giving you time to slow down. radar, well, thats controlled by the FCC, so you cant really go around blasting that stuff.

Can't go wrong with mounting an iPad somewhere...ideally in the space between your steering wheel and the three other screens hanging from the trim lol.

Well since this is how your car roll might as well put a food microwave in there since you have food cooler in the back . A flat screen tv would be nice in there too plus pillar pods.

Astro, less is nicer my friend.

Do you still have a back seat?
Maybe a couple of head rest monitors with emulators and extra imputs for consoles.

A flip-flop ironing board would be perfect in my MINI since I'm always on the go.

It appears your forward visibility may be impaired.

You missed microwave and toaster along with dryer and dish washer man. Shame on you!

To OP, Do you have scan gauge mounted?
