vex will become famous soon enough
I did an in-car mock up and found out a few things.

You'll notice I still haven't moved the fuel gauge over any (that will be coming here shortly). This is also with the picture taken in my field of vision or in other words directly in my line of site of the IQ3. The angle looks spot on to me.


This is my attempt at getting the view of where my eyes are. Of course this is not a 1:1 translation, but you get a good idea of the visible angle and what not.


Now this is where it starts to get a little aggravating to me.

You can see the cut in the vinyl. But the issue isn't with the vinyl wrapped surround. Watch what happens when I push the dash bezel to it's proper location:

Looks absolutely perfect right? Well... The fix is going to be harder than it looks and I would definitely appreciate some input on how to go about it (will be coming in another post).

Here's a view with the steering wheel, just to ensure everything is easy to read, easy to get to, and at the proper angle.
