Default Vette themed skin for Centrafuse

I've been playing around with a skin and decided to share it with my Corvette brethren. See the following link for details and pics:

BTW, I need somewhere to post the files to, so if anyone is interested let me know.

I am using Frodo player but after seeing that I am going to try out Centrafuse. That is if I can get the skin from you.

That looks sweet. I gave up on my car PC project and have lots of spare parts lying around for sale: Full mini ITX carputer, Xenarc 7" touchscreen, single din motorized VGA touchscreen, usb gps, xm direct, etc etc.

I ended up putting in my old pioneer avic 7500dvd in.

that looks great... this is going to force me to actually set up the latest version of centrafuse (i'm still using 1.2 )

hey spinedoc...are you looking to sell your equipment (w/o the screen)? I was thinking about setting up a car pc in my g/f's montero for her b-day present.

Hey Scott:

Is that question for me? If so, I'm currently in the very early stages of planning. I still use the PDA/wireless hard drive device (WL-HDD) setup. It still works fine, however, I'm leaning towards attempting (emphasis on ATTEMPTING) a solution similar to yours. I read a post a little while back where you were going to be doing a limited run of modified, double-din, dashes. I just might take you up on that offer.

yup it was I remember talking with you about your pda setup but i didn't think you could run centrafuse on it. I dont know much about how your setup works but the fullblown pc is pretty fun.

if you're near LA and need help let me know.

I grew up in West LA. Went to Uni High. I live about 50 miles east from there now (where owning a house is a little more affordable). Like I said, I am currently at the planning stage, so the PDA will have to do for now. It does not run Centrafuse. When I'm ready to do the fullblown PC, trust me, I'll have lots of questions. It's good to know there is someone out there, with your expertise, willing to help out....thanks!!

In regards to my carputer stuff, I have returned most of the stuff, but still have some stuff I could not return because of packaging or modifications.

Morex mini ITX case with 90w power supply.
Slot loading mini CDRW/DVD drive.
Toshiba 60g laptop hard drive.
Lilliput 7" single DIN motorized VGA touchscreen.
XM direct package (hardware and unactivated software).
OBDII hardware and software (for GM, but you can buy new cable)
Globalsat BT305 usb GPS receiver with waterproof antenna.
USB folding keyboard.
mini lighted usb keyboard.

Im sure I have more stuff floating around, but that is the bulk of it. Basically you would need a mini ITX motherboard and memory, otherwise it would be turnkey.

I would rather sell it as a package and not bother with mailing out seperate units.

Might be interested in a double din dash too. I had been thinking about an in-dash monitor, but if I can use a regular 7" VGA I'd go for that. I'm just lacking talent and bravery to try cutting the dash myself.
