I got an advanced conceal carry which allows me to carry into universities/schools, banks, airports, courts, bars/clubs/alcohols, and I'm immune to places that says "no firearms allowed". (but if its private property, they can make me to leave. Only 2 places I can't bring into: police station and Courtroom when in session.

And guess what? I'm the infamous owner of the Acura TL PUKE thread (warning puke pictures all over a new acura TL console, DO NOT CLICK if you don't want to see it :P):
Doms, Isimple, and WDTV player hooked up to a "removable" seagate 2TB USB external harddrive. The seagate is currently the world's thinnest 2TB USB powered HDD. Can stick that in with the WDTV Play and hook the usb to either the front or the rear (there's two usb slots which plays simultaneously). I hook mine to the rear so I can close the slot door and not have to even touch it. The front usb slot will be for friend's USB stick.
Has Miracast enabled too so can project any android phone to the screen as well as internet tethering so technically I can tether internet to my dash using my phone.
Forgot about my matching nutts and locking nutts!! Can't live without them or else I'll get 'blueballs'
I also got a hydrodipping and plexiglass kit so I will dress up my engine bay covers in blue and black digital camo with the main engine cover blue/black carbon fiber and trunk will have it's own fun things.
Oh for those with projects that want to protect your artwork, I recommend using KBS DIAMONDFINISH clear coat. This stuff is the latest innovation advance polyurethane sealant clear coat. And it's a thermoplastic so technically you can use it to protect anything from car paint, brake caliper paint, engine bay covers, blocks, etc. You can apply it on anything: plastic, metal, rims, chrome, fiberglass, etc.
This thing dries to a hard glossy solid that is TOUGH and permanent. Won't chip, won't fade, won't yellow, and very flexible. Not even graffiti will stick after you clean. It can be sprayed or brush on and won't leave brush mark cuz it's self leveling! Neat stuff that is IMPERVIOUS to all solvents, even acetone and paint remover. So that means you have a window to fix all mistakes with any thinner before it becomes permanent. They stated that if its on your skin, only a period of time will remove it lol. No hardener or pre-treatment. Just 1 step application and no need to bake/uv treat cuz it dries in the air and protects from UV. Manufactured from Australia due to their toxic UV climate atmosphere and only 1 of a few companies to ever perfected this technology!!
I'm in no way advertising for them and I don't work for them. I'm a medical student and side engineer for my side projects. A pint can be bought on ebay for $35-$40
im very curious what kind of DVD button is that? where did you get it? it seems to fit so well
There was a dvd button thread that I contributed to, search under my name for the thread. It just switches between nav and your media player.

Thanks, its oem from acura. Stick to oem as it flows and contours with clips going underneath the window frame to prevent theft. The others I've seen are 3M stick to the outside and doesn't cover across the doors.

Doms, iSimple= which product of their specifically? this may be more ideal than nexus7 mod which takes away the oem screen/navi..
Exactly what I was thinking. But at least the car looks great!
quick fix no more selfie
As for the nav setup, I've had the products since 2007-08 and I doubt those products are still around, but i'm sure any of newer versions out will work as it all work the same concept.
The holster: google serpa blackhawk holster and look for the ones for your gun. Since mine was a short barrel 1911, I had to buy the full 1911 style barrel holster and simply dremel mines shorter. The quick disconnect is also a serpa product. Google serpa quick disconnect. It allows you to remove the holster in a mere second, click, turn and snap on/off. The holster itself has a click mechanism lock that retains the pistol. You can buy more disconnects and install the "circular" pad in your home, office desk, wall, etc. and just snap the holster off your vehicle seat mount and remount it in your home or work. Makes everything smooth and looks professional. Youtube them to see how they work.
If you are attaching on your driver seat just like mine, there's enough space for it, but I suggest sliding it more to the left for several reasons (be sure to test fit and do all sliding seat mechanisms so it clears everything before drilling):
1. getting in and out is easier as you don't have to over-adjust your right foot across and hit the pistol.
2. it gets hidden from view on the driver side better as onlookers looking in won't see it when its more towards the left driver door (nearest driver door side compartment) Tint also helps! Looking through the right passenger window is hardly noticeable as its lower down in the seat and most people wont be looking in that area anyways.
3. When you are moving your right foot from braking and throttle, your calves won't bump into it, especially during an emergency braking, and should you rest your calves against the seat during cruise control. Your left foot would be either resting on the dead pedal rest, or engaging the MT clutch most of the time for MT models.
4. in case of accidental discharge in the mounting position (should that ever occurs, which should not happen if everything has clicked and locked in), the bullet will only hit your "fuel door release" lever, which you balls of the foot won't be anywhere near there unless the balls of your foot are resting on it-- that is a very uncomfortable position for resting IMO anyways. Now thats only for my seat position as I'm only 5'11.
5. reaching for the pistol wont strain your wrist if you are right handed. (flip the holster and mount opposite but still mount everything more left of the seat if you are left handed) So if any lethal encounter (hope u won't ever need to use it), they wont see you reaching for anything as you can pretend you are leaning forward against the steering wheel and only takes a quick slight of your right hand should the time permits. Also if you are forced out of your vehicle, just a quick slight of right hand motion for the gun as you're exiting and you are better safe than sorry. You just grabbed your gun without anyone noticing since your legs and body are blocking as you exit the vehicle, and here's one trick I can share from my classes: don't fully exit the vehicle, but as you exit slowly and grab your gun with your right hand (its hidden from intruder's view with your body), your left arm is free to grab and use the door as a shield between you and the intruder. Now you have the upper hand because the element of surprise will distract the intruder. You could go one step further and just point the left finger and shout "watch out" behind to make him turn around, and then act upon the element of surprise if he has a gun. If there's a knife, you got the upper hand already and should know what to do. Usually if u are forced out, the intruder would give a small amount of space between him and you. Please do exercise good judgements and know your laws in each state. Your life and your loved ones are your utmost safety and what happens afterwards will be with you for the rest of your life, as that's one of the consequences of owning a gun.
Be Prepped. Always alert. Stay safe.
Forgot to add, the WDTV (any version)'s dimensions fit perfectly in the upper center storage above the cigarette and you can fully close the door. you can put an external hard drive on top of the player and use the usb cables to attach it to the rear of the wdtv player which having the front USB fully exposed and useable should the need for friend's media occurs.
Also, the whole wdtv unit can be removed as well as the external HDD for updating media files or using it in your home tv since you should have the available home a/c adapter. (you need the car adapter to power the wdtv in vehicle which is available on ebay). I dont fasten anything down for this reason, and it doesn't jump around in the storage cuz its a snug fit in 1 millimeter. I did research for this. Other usb media players may work but just check dimensions. Width of the upper center storage slot is 5.1 inch by 6 inches length. WDTV play's width is 4.9 inch by 4 inch length. (This gives you 2 inches in the rear for a/v cables, power, hooking usb cable to rear slot. You have 1 inch height ceiling space to place your external HDD on top of your wdtv. Front usb slot clears auto shift knob, but I can't say for MT, but u aren't using the front usb slot anyways.

No fender pull, no fender rolling, no stretching tires, no camber kit, no suspension issues, NO RUBBING, and best part? No back killing rides, esp on 6+ hours long road trips. The lifetime alignment I bought for $99 was the best thing ever. Amazing setup honestly. Even people ask how did I lower this so much yet doesn't kill their backs as opposed to most on coilover setup.
Anyways now gonna work on installing BBK, nismo 350z rotors, ebc red stuff pads, and the blue accents. Pictures will follow when finished. Been raining so much.
Rough idea of how it sits. Been gloomy and raining! Better pics later.
Also a friend's:

I haven't done the sti lip install yet as I'm repaint my bumper after all the curb scuffs and family members parking too close to the curb. after all, the sti lip was meant to take all the beatings so might as well prep the bumper first.
Day after my new brake install, ended up going offroading for the advance firearm tactical defensive shooting certification by NRA instructor...didn't get the memo it was offroad....UGHz
Now what's left is to install the STI front lip, custom side skirt splitters and rear splitters, hook up the blue LED subs and amps, and install blue led to the plexiglass battery cover to light up the etched "A" to match the trunk lights. The plexiglass will light up when hood is actually opened.
Looks great. In for pics of the STI lip on.. I have been looking for exact fitment of it since some seem to fit partially under the bumper hidden just showing the middle part..
Thanks for all the warm comments and I will answer everyone shortly after I finish this project so in the meantime enjoy my Chihuahua Popcorn's comics:
