Nothing special but here in Iowa we've had an un-seasonably warm weekend.

Gave it a moderate detail inside and out to get rid of the salt and sand.

Vinyl wrapped my B pillars. They looked a little chewed up like someone had opened their door and the corner torn the material on there. There were about 10 marks on the pillars and some scratches.

So I sorta got android auto working in my car for cheap. I found a software for the Raspberry Pi called Crankshaft NG which can emulate the android auto output. I went from the pi > HDMI/RCA converter into the RCA inputs. I just need to add a clear digitizer overtop and I can have touch working:

It's obviously not the greatest quality since the screen is kinda crappy low res, but it works and it's cheap. Total cost will be like $40.

I'll do a writeup if people want, once I get the parts for the touchscreen and get all that installed.

finally got around to installing the redlinegoods shift boot. I know it's automatic, don't care lol. Also relocated the grounding cables to where the negative battery cable attaches to the body, before the current sensor.

That sure looks like a manual transmission shifter. Your disguise is complete.

My OEM one was super cracked, and this full cover one was cheaper than the pre-cut OE replacement. Not trying to fake anything.
