This is my Riocar on my Seat León 20vt FR.

Here it is - Bruface with an Alpine knob installed in my Ford Explorer - thanks to 303 for creating a great product, and Jets for the Alpine knob .nfo! Great fit and finish on the Newface, no complaints at all - fit like a glove, everything was packaged well and arrived in good time...

To all those naysayers who thought the Alpine knob would look out of place with this face, I say !!!

thx man, looks cool

ahhh...Collective Soul...a Georgia band.

Grrrrr

As promised - here are the install pictures in my Audi. Finally got up off my lazy butt and took some pics... Looks fantastic. Now I just need to do that thing to the handle... and add the led mod.

Another pic



I had to sack my cool Neon Red lens since the beveled edges dont meet up with the display cut out for the New Face. Plus, the door doesn't close becasue the knob protrudes too far. But, it looks awesome, it looks like it belongs and is part of the car (well, it did before too, but moreso now).

I'll get some better pics up soon!

And here is mine! Installed my Renault Clio Sport! Good and professional work, Tim! Thanks

Are you aware that the GIF of people dancing that you are using as your avatar and also on the front page of your website is over a quarter of a million bytes in size ?

I think you need to change it for something smaller. Even on my nice fast ADSL line while I waited for IE to download and play it I was beginning to thing IE had crashed. For someone on a modem it will take them nearly a minute just to download that one graphic.

Hello Andy,

Thanks for the info.....! I did now some change to keep the data quantity mutch smaller.....

bye

Thought I'd post pics of my new polished fascia from Tim. It looks great and I'm quite pleased. It'll eventually receive a chroming to match the handle but all in all it looks pretty good.

I did have a problem with the chrome handle sticking because of the extra thickness associated with the chrome even with the FAQ handle adjustment. I'll probably wind up grinding the fascia down a little prior to chroming. More info on the handle is here.



My empeg is currently a stereo component until I get back to the US. The chrome is meant to blend with the chrome on the radio bezel. Something like this...



I'll post pics once the actual install occurs. Thanks to Tim for putting the fascias together.

Now I just need to do that thing to the handle... and add the led mod.

Do you mean the illuminated buttons? Do those fit when you have a NewFace or are they too big?

Greetings!

Illuminated buttons and the NewFace work great together...

Here are a couple of pictures of my NewFaced Empeg. I thought the lighted buttons were a bit obtrusive, so I painted a bit on them with a marker and I think they look better this way...

A shot in the dark...


Another one with flash...


Edit: How the **** can I insert images in the post? The image-tag didn't work for me...
Second edit: I did dot my i's, but I didn't count my t's...

Edit: How the **** can I insert images in the post? The image-tag didn't work for me...

You need to dot your i's and cross your t's.

Or at least count them.

(HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. Note the number of T's in that acronym.)

Of course, knowing what the internet is mostly used for, I think that Hyper Text Tittie Transfer Protocol should also be considered valid. I don't think the the W3 consortium would go for the validation of that one, though.

Well, if it was enough people requesting it....

I found my mistake(s) by doing several BACKs...

Thanks for the help.

Here's mine. I don't like the filler fascia around the unit, though. It sits a bit too deep in the dash for my taste.

AnoFace is awesome, though! Now I need my lighted buttons...

It sits a bit too deep in the dash for my taste.

Have you tried this?

I never thought of that! (Obviously...) Thanks! I'll try that tomorrow...

It seems to me that it would make more sense to apply some extra plastic to the front of the dash adapter between the sled's lips and where the lips currently touch (it'd end up looking like a picture frame) and have the sled sit further out.

The reason that I (intellectually) don't like the concept of moving the plug is that the empeg will no longer slide into the sled all the way and the clips activated by the arm won't have anything to grab onto.

That's a cool looking install though, with the NewFace. It's a shame (well, kinda) that the stock empeg look is absolutely PERFECT in my dash, and almost looks stock. Which is good, because stock = not appealing to thieves. Not that I leave it in my dash these days, but still.

The reason that I (intellectually) don't like the concept of moving the plug is that the empeg will no longer slide into the sled all the way and the clips activated by the arm won't have anything to grab onto.

That is my concern as well so I haven't tried it, yet. I can live with it for now, but I'd like to look into a fix for it.

That little mod sure does get a lot of use. That reminds me, I have to check and see if i ever moved it back when I switched cars. Yup, found a picture in the gallery. Boy that riocar.org is handy.

just a reminder of the "lost" ones

we need more pictures, please

RE: "303, you've got a Richard 23 thing going on."

I never did explain myself did I?

Richard 23 was a member of the EBM industrial act "Front 242." Early in their career, their image was defined by paramilitary outfits (the kinda looked like fighter pilots) and dark wrap-around sunglasses or goggles. They even had a phase where all of their record covers were close ups of swimmers wearing Speedo type goggles. You may remember their big song "Welcome to Paradise" that had the vocal sample "Hey poor, you don't have to be poor any more! Jesus is here!"

You avatar and your username reminded me of them (esp. the singer Richard 23).
