Nice, looks loomed and tied up good. How well can you operate and see the scanner screen when driving?

Nice job! Clean and neat... May just be a scanner in this case but keep up the good work!

Stick shifts are never fun.

Not too shabby. Auto focus needs a little attention though :lol:

A manual trans always makes it hard to mount stuff in a nice location. Can't agree more with that!

Yea we were having some camera problems. That wasn't really any where else to mount it besides the side of the console.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Split-loom is every installers best friend. It has this magic ability to turn something that would otherwise look like crap into a work of art. I buy it in bulk from Waytek! And then my other pet peeve is antenna color. I love black antennas. So your installation of a scanner with wireloom and a black antenna is great in my book!

NICE....

but uhhh.. why not an "on-glass" cellular lookalike? or drill a hole??

I can understand not wanting to drill the holes, thats where the "on-glass" antenna comes in.....


not knocking your install at all.. I think it looks great...

just questioning the antenna....and the cost compared to a glass mount....

I hate on-glass antennas. And with this antenna I have the ability to upgrade mounts later on. (aka drill the hole)

I've never met an on-glass antenna that I liked. A trunk lip mount like that is a lot better than a glass mount.

and trunk lips are easily moved...as compared to the scrape it off the car and throw it in the trash on glass ones.
