How bout we continue doing what we like to our cars and you do what you like to yours? It all comes down to personal preference really. If you don't like it, simply don't do it!

Liquid_G · 06-15-2010, 12:46 PM

how about not getting so butthurt about people's opinions on a public forum.

kenchan · 06-15-2010, 12:57 PM

yah really...it's not like we forced someone to post a clipboard on their dash and call it a install. you're excited about your install that's great. but if you're going to post something to the international community, be ready to get comments good and bad.

Paul@AEperformance · 06-15-2010, 01:01 PM

Looks like a police car =)

Just need a shotgun mount and your set.

Just be careful while driving and attending a webinar now ..lol

I think it's cool though. =)

I'm not butt hurt, I just think its funny that everytime someone posts a cool ipad in car idea, which obviously took some level of ingenuity and time, you are so quick to stomp it and be negative about it. You can post your opinion without being a complete negative Nancy. All I was saying. Notice how big and phelan posted their opposite opinions with reasons as to why they felt that way. Not just "oh its crap stop doing it!"

yeah i think the ipad stick outs way to far... careful when driving too because law enforcement may pull you over for having this obstruction or this awesome distraction

Good luck and great mod

So as long I state a reason why I don't like this ipad in a car idea its ok right? How about its way too big, its an eyesore, probably dangerous to use during normal driving, and it literally looks like someone stuck it on the top cubby hole door with double sided tape. There's no thought into doing something like that.. I can tape a tablet PC to my dash too, but I choose not to because its retarded.. Its not innovative.. Its got FAIL written all over it.

Until someone actually custom molds something that into a dashboard, and actually makes it look good.. My OPINION on this will remain the same.

Funny how you also have an Ipad in your Z and you are the only one firing up about negative comments.. I-fanboy much?

That's fine I'm not saying don't have an opinion about it. Even though your opinion is heavily subjective.

There is no thought in doing this? Thats funny cuz I distinctively remember putting plenty of thought into my install, as im sure the op and other diy's have. If its not innovative then why are reputable companies like metra and schosche looking into possible iPad mounts for vehicles? I am not a fanboy, however I do enjoy my iPad plenty. I appreciate your opinion, I'm just saying give the guys who take time out of their day for the community the credit they deserve.

The term 'butthurt' is hilarious and I've never heard it before but thass all besides the point.

I think it's cool and I disagree with the notion that it looks like it was slapped up there or that it's too big for the space. I'm sure you'll be mindful of the road cause, well you're an adult and its the responsible thing to do, so I don't get that jab coming your way either. As far as smash and grab, effed up people take things that don't belong to them, unfortunately thass the world we live in, I'm sure you were cognizant of that fact also so I don't understand the comments regarding the possibility of theft. Think I've seen people's Z's on cinder blocks on this forum for stock rims so, um, yea, thanks for pointing out the obvious fellas.

Anyway, I think there is a classy way to say you don't like something and then there is the other way.......

Hope you enjoy your mod man, thanks for posting.

To each is own.

I can't personally think how I would mount my I-pad in my car. That being said I think its a geat job.

Not for me but its more about the excution I think.

Ah thanks for the feedback guys. I know some of you think silly and looks "crap" but I love it

That matters I guess. I think the guy did an excellent job with the dashboard and I'm a happy customer.

The iPad is portable, I don't intend to leave it inside the car especially during this crazy hot summer season. Beside the obvious reason that is to prevent getting smashed and robbed, iPad doesn't operate in a high temperature. So it needs to be stored in a cool temperature.

As far as the delivery of the feedback, being honest is always greatly appreciated.. being disagree it's perfectly normal. That's what this forum is all about. I only wish that when people disagree, they could express it in a constructive manner. However I understand some people can be a straight to the point type of guy. Which is fine.

To answer Liquid_G:
I guess you have to see it in person, since I don't understand your comment regarding the double sided tape, because it is flushed in to the dashboard (the chubby box was removed by the way).

^can you post a better pic?

didymus · 06-15-2010, 09:45 PM

Agreed. Needs more pics with daylight.

Waiz · 06-16-2010, 12:09 AM

Can we see additional pics?

It looks pretty cool but it's a major target for thieves.

phelan · 06-16-2010, 01:21 AM
