Yes,
On a piece that big that is a "high traffic area", use real glass instead of acrylic.
Acrylic will scratch easier and be harder to keep clean.

Well, Iv'e been busy. Here in Phx it rained all week, but today was a nice 62 deg.

The rear parts of the center console are now fitted in to place. Not much is wired up yet.

Here is the continuation of the front part.

Here you can see the "wet bar" with glasses and dencanter.

Here is a side view

What is that in the bottom? Are those laser lights? What on earth would I be doing with those? As some of you know, I love to build CRAZY stuff (just google BIGEVIL hearse). Anyway, you will just have to wait and see.

Really well done, but could you actually put liqueur in that bottle and not have the cops hassle you about open liqueur in the car?

Simple, just don't put booze in it. The bottle sits low enough that you can't tell if there is anything in it.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Hi all!
I'm back with a new update. I know my latest edition has nothing to do with audio, but I thought some of you might like it anyway.

Drum roll please............

My 1st headliner install ! Like I mentioned in a few posts, I like to be a little outside the norm. So I did mine in black crushed velvet and a limo style mirror. The velvet has a slight red tint to it which is perfect to match my red interior lighting. The last pic in the set is me at the car show I did yesterday. It was a beautiful 75 degrees in Phoenix. Unfortunately I did not win a trophy, but it was fun none the less. Hope you are all staying warm,
Gary
