Got all the wood trim changed to piano black. I think its much sportier, especially with the wheel matched. Have my data logging running on the Tab using Torque and PLX Kiwi. Thoughts..

Well the Piano Trim was $200 for the painting from a friend. He put 9 layers of clear with cutting every 3 layers to get it super deep finish, then a final polish with 3m glaze.

The Tab and mount was all custom work I did, but the cost

Galaxy tab 3G and car mount ($600ish)
PLX KIWI ($125 shipped)

I have a question When you open and close the rear cup holder sliding door, does it leave any scratch marks?

KLR,
Did you have to tap in a sender for your boost pressure? or is that read from the ODBII?

Rear Slider doesn't leave any scratches that you can see( I'll try to get some pics later). Boost is referenced from OBD2 by the PLX devices Kiwi bluetooth.

The tab clip below the vents looks familiar, is that a ProClip?

I have had my Tab in my CL55 for a while using the OEM Samsung mount suctioned onto the windshield but i am going to custom fab it so it sits on the lowest slat on the center vent

How well does the Kiwi and Torque setup work? I hadn't heard of it until now, looks sick
