I like the idea of a compass but not the idea of running new wires, next trip to pullapart I'll be on the look out :D If you already have an auto dim then you are all set all all you need to do is make a connection to the existing wires and mount the mirror. Running the wires for the temp sensor was easy for me on both my Tbird and Mustang. I have no headliner or roof pillar trim installed in the Tbird right now. However even for the Mustang, it was just a simple matter of removing the interior "A" pillar trim, running wires pushed under the front edge of the headliner then down the "A" pillar post. Then made a connection for 12V+ under the dash. For the ground I just tapped into the ground wire for the roof mounted map light which is mounted all the way forward in my Mustang. From under the dash, I ran two wires through a grommet in the firewall and pulled it through to the very front of the car. I then secured the wiring neatly and connected the temp sensor and zip tied it to an existing hole on some structure behind the bumper cover. Quote Selected

Not trying to knock your custom one, I know you love it, and there's nothing wrong with it, I just think the other one really fit the current interior.:2c:Ohh, and the bird on the dash, AWESOME!!! I loved it. Quote Selected

I loved it.I love the MN-12 wheel too, but it just sits uncomfortably close to my chest. It's a deep wheel and Fox body cars need a shallow one. Hardly anything custom about the 1984 Tbird steering wheel I am using. The only thing I did was modify the center emblem so that it actually blows the horn. There is no telling what wheel I will end up with in the long run. Right now my main concern is getting it to run flawlessly. I would feel a lot better right now if it was. Right now I am a little discouraged but I just have to give it time. The cosmetics are always a piece of cake.BTW, I seen a wonderful 85 Turbo Coupe today one of my customers was driving. it ran good. It really only needed a paint job and some cosmetic refinement. Thunderlust set in needless to say. Quote Selected
