Okay Pug,

Is this a photo chop or do you have a secret you need to reveal. I would say you have a secret that you are not willing to share since you commented but gave no insight? Whats up?

Kinda looks photoshoped to me....

If you look at the plastic in front of and above the "FAST *** C5" you can see the reflection of a different Message.

Hey, that is some quick thinking photochop work there! Just made me smile! Get rid of the reflection, or use the clone stamp to move the reflections to match your letters and then remove the errant reflections and you would have it...

No way to change it that I have heard of. Wish there were - it would be fun to put different messages on the DIC.

With enough money and engineering, anything can be done but I don't think anyone with the resources has actually tackled the task of hacking into the computer and trying to change it.

Uh-huh. Yeah right.

Here's one from a CF member who ran off the track in an autocross a couple months ago. I certainly wouldn't mention names, but his initials are OOH YEAH!!!

I'm pretty sure that customized messages and greetings are a configurable option on the C6 DIC. I've never heard of anyone being able to change the messages on the C5, though.

From where I sit the two choices are get a C6 or live with it!
