Looks good so far man!

I thought about the hood pins but opted out of them...never found a set that I really liked or that worked quite like they should.

Heres a look at Matt's scanner I made for him before I sent it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSSU_zexZy0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It is insanely bright! Just as bright as mine from the show! :shock:
You guys hit me up on youtube if you want one or pm me here also.
I made it to have 3 rows of High flux LEDs just like my scanner from the show. :good:
I am now working on the HUD UV laser for me Matt,iphil & others.
And I am working on a new 'stealth mode' UV scanner.

ETA for KI3T Voice Orb sales: 1 week
ETA for KARR Voice Orb: 2 months

No the one I built for Matt is EXACTLY as wide as mine from the show. Mine has 3 rows and so does the one I made for Matt. It even has the exact same number and type of LEDs as the one from the show.

Not bad for a $550 dollar option compared to over $4000 huh? :lol:
I made this so you guys could afford a scanner that wasn't too small or wasn't bright enough. There will only be about 15 made by me so let me know if you want me to make more. :good:

There are only 2 maker of KR scanners that will fit a Mustang shelby hood.
The official scanner for $4200.00 (and there's only one left)
And my scanner for $550

With this your KI3T will be the hit of any car show!

I am speechless.
The blue reflection from the sky in the brand new paint job looks awesome against the scanners deep red. :good:
And the wheels are so damn cool!

The stock brakes look tiny with the 20" rim.

Yes I will be installing vinyl stripes, but I have to wait 60 days until the paint it fully cured on the hood. 8)
I've got to give huge props to Taoworm for the scanner! I think the result came out looking better than I wanted! Thanks so much man! :good: I hope to do plenty of business with you in the future when I get to the interior of KI3T! 8)
