Default Double "D" Mods does it again!!!

I wish I knew how to take a good picture so I could do these pieces some justice. For you noobs that don't know Dennis, this guy has character!!! I'm not going to go into detail but let's just say, he went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of me when he absolutley did not have to. You can reach him HERE.

I went with the standard parts that most folks get...Radio Bezel, door pulls, knee bolster, instument gauge surround and center console. Excellent finish and craftsmanship. I went with a newer CF pattern in black. I found it hard to capture the pattern with my camera and lighting conditions but it really looks pretty cool. A somewhat understated pattern which is what I wanted. Didn't really want an "In your face" CF look. I'm VERY happy with this choice. The modded radio bezel fits my Kenwood perfectly, I didn't have to make a single adjustment. I noticed that the camera picked up the pattern and sort of enhanced it, in person is looks a lot more subdued. When you look at it with the naked eye you can tell it has a pattern but it doesn't jump out at you like in the pics.

Pics:











Thank you Dennis



Jason

Looks great. I'm also interested in that CF pattern. Any shots from further away to get a better idea on the completed interior?

Also, any problems with the pull out screen with the Kenwood? I looking at the same head unit and wondered whether the CD loader behind the screen would cause any problems with a custom DD bezel.

That was the reason for the last pic, as you can see it opens 100%. Dennis has perfected the measurments for the clearance this head unit needs. The pattern is definitley different and not what you normally see. I don't have any shots from a distance yet, PM Dennis...he might have something for ya.



EDIT: I didn't realize I had a few from a distance until I went back through the camera...hope this helps?

Sweet! I've got the same pattern on the way from Dennis, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Looking forward to the Pioneer Z110 install!

Thanks. How's the Kenwood performing. "Whitesnake - Still of the Night" Love it! However "Love Ain't No Stranger" is still my Coverdale favorite.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas...This pattern "isn't for everyone" but it suits me just fine. If I could only find a way to Carbon Fiber the supercharger without it melting off I'd be in BIDNAZZ!!!

Hope you guys check out Dennis with Double D mods...he is DA BOMB fo SHIZZLE!!! He will not be satisfied until you are!!!

Thanks again!
