thanks for the feedback!

I just got back from a 3000 mile trip across country (though not in the insight, too small for the whole family on a trip like that) so havent had a chance to before today to respond.

I tried to look at the armrest, but couldn't find it by item number, maybe the listing is too old? i am very curious about though, so if you have pictures you could post, that would be awesome.

as for the fogs, living in south Florida, and often taking trips in the more swampy areas, fogs are a requirement for safe driving in my opinion. the fog can get so thick in the early morning, you sometimes cant see ten feet in front of your vehicle with out them, so every car i drive gets a set of amber fogs at some point. there are now several varieties of very small projector fog lamps to choose from that should sit snugly in the grille without inducing too much drag. i just need to shop a bit and try and find an effective set at a reasonable price. i use PIAA amber projection fogs in my truck, piaa's arent the "end all - be all" of fog lights, but they're fairly inexpensive and made my recent trip much safer while driving through the mountains in Georgia..

as for the radio / car pc option , i've been thinking about it a bit and will try and fab a modified version of the existing radio housing(using caned foam to make a mold, then carving it to fit) , expanding it to fit my 7" touch screen monitor, and adding a space for a laptop usb dvd/cd-rw drive which i already have. ill also have to build an enclosure for the atom based cpu (ive got a great compact case for it just a bit bigger than a car stereo) in the factory spot for the dvd changer. i just need to figure out the power.

ill have to search for the LED article, but as for all mods, ill be doing them myself. im fairly comfortable with most all things cars, and comfortable with everything from wiring to welding , though not an expert at any of them, i muddle my way through and learn along the way, and enjoy it that way
