The brightness is impressively better on the ipad than I would have thought.
Are you still going to make the bezel?
Thanks...
Yes I am going to make the bezel and mount it in the horizontal position due to easier usage of the virtual keyboard.
I found that the brightness can be adjusted even brighter than in the pics, too.

Matt, Tao has already seen this, but this is how I want My KI2T's interior to look like Image As you can see, there are elements of both KI2T and KI3T in the design. That is on purpose, as I want to do a Mustang version of the Knight 2000 using a regular Mustang body, but using elements from Mustang Aftermarket parts to make him look like his original self. This is just a comparison shot between your KI3T and Tao's KI3T for your reference for later.

And these are the headrests I wantImage But with the louvers removed, and in the same color as the seats in the pic above.

For more pics of my design, go to http://mustangki2t.webs.com/

Sort of, Slade,
but the front bumper will be from a 2007 black Saleen Parnelli-Jones edition Mustang, while the rear bumper will be from a 2007 Chip Foose edition Mustang, and the hoodscoop will come from the Roush aftermarket Retro bodykit in terms of the angle's decline and width. While the length, shape, and look will come from the Mach 1 Mustang hoodscoop. Here is a pic and link to show you what I mean.

angle of decline: Image

Well it looks like my uder the dash lights are already going out after only 4 months. I sent a email to autoi.com and he told me that he is getting some new ones but dont have a price. I dont think they should go out in that short of time and also spending $65.00 for them. Anyone have any ideas because I dont want to take the airbag out again after this time.

Hello Joshua my PM don't work I can't send message back now

I would like too more phrase to create a true interactivity especially KITT introduction phrase from the pilot and other comic phrases ^^

Actually I prefert the voice in english since your file don't have backup stage sound that ruin the credibility like in the french version, so I can live with the original voice ^^

The above pics would be the interior and alternate body for my KARR. Here is the main body for KARR, 3 pictures I found online while looking for KR replicas: Image

Guys, (Steffen and KARR)

You really should create a thread of your own for these future projects, as this thread was originally created to discuss available parts and in progress replicas. :good:

sorry matt, I initially wanted to show Tamatt the interior pic as an in between comparison shot, but it grew into it's own alternate reality. Sorry about that.

No worries Stef, it's just that at 20 pages in length, we really do need to keep this thread on topic so as to ensure that searching for information is kept as simple as possible. :good:
