I like the blue, more subtle, not sure what other color I'd want in there...but something uniform and light. Not green. But, happy wife...

Super clean dash, all of it is clean inside there - nice! I've gotten more patient w/ age, and wanting things more particular. When I did my dad's shifter wiring I took my time, got it all off and back on w/o breaking a single tab...15-20 years ago I would have had to order more parts to replace what I broke taking something off

oh yeah, that's just day mode ... as soon as you turn the headlights on it totally changes! right now it's set for much dimmer, all red numbering, soft blue-white pointers, dim grey text on the screen and again red numbers.

gotta keep that night vision honed

Looking good, Matt.

Details on your 3D printed phone mount? I think you've mentioned it before, details elude me though.

it's the magnetic QuadLock mount with wireless charging. i have the locking one in the jeep to keep things from falling out. but they are SUPER nice to just slap it up there, it's clocked and won't slide, plus charging.

as for the 3D print ... just the same ball size on a base that fit the dash hole, one screw thru the middle and a washer trimmed for the cord hole on the back. i've made these ball mounts before and the thin post can be a weak point, running the screw up into the ball makes them super solid.
