Aww shucks nobody liked the air filter look on their car :( lol
There's tons of different weave patterns for composites for various applications. Each has a strength and weakness. When I was making the hull for my engineering project many moons ago when I was still in college, we stuck with what was cheap vs. what was actually good for our application due to budgets. Would have been nice to play with some basalt fiber on that project. |

I would absolutely rock a wrap in that color and pattern over some of the wraps I've seen out there |

Yup lots of weaves, but I have only seen the simple weaves for the automotive world.

Well, carbon fiber body panels replace metal that's slightly stronger than aluminum foil, so it doesn't have to be all that strong.

New head unit is in. Really good one with a lot of features for it's price point. I would have also had the Bazooka basstube (100w) in as well if Bazooka didn't forget to put in the FAST-9999 harness that was supposed to come with it.

Looking good! I had an 80w tube in mine that mysteriously started blowing fuses. Curious to see how the 100w does in the little hatch. Keep us posted!

So it's funny that after spending over 6 months looking for a good used Yaris, that it's the one that I found. I drove all the way down to SoCal to get her. As long as you don't finance it, you should be able to ship back a car to Hawaii. Check SoCal's craigslist as well, never know, might find one like I did. Quote:
Doesn't do Android auto, but that wasn't a requirement for me anyway. It says it can control an Android phone, but I really don't know what the difference is. |

Now that I'm 10 years wiser, that Blazing Blue hatchback will finally be mine someday. The long search will make it even sweeter! |

Yeah, that wouldn't matter to me either. As long as I can pair my phone and run my apps from the radio, I wouldn't care that it wasn't native to the radio. If there are any benefits to android auto running native on the radio, aside from not having to sync your phone to it, I'm unaware of them.

There's a slight gap at the top and bottom of the HU, but not enough to make me go crazy. lol.

Dory's miles will increase considerably as my commute has gone from 30 miles to 60 miles each way.

Seriously though, a 60 mile commute doesn't sound awesome. That'll mean less time to work on Dory. :( |
