Not rude a bit! That is what discussion forums are for!
I'm certainly not saying that it can't be done for less, but I wanted to easily be able to replicate my build for the purposes of doing installations for customers. Which is the biggest reason why I went with the full Renegade setup, new crate motor etc.
I'm not trying to compete with what NERV is doing and don't plan at this point to try and fabricate my own installation kit to compete with Renegade. The biggest reason I posted everything about my build is to point out to everyone who is thinking about this sort of project just how much time/effort or money is involved if you don't DIY~
I guess the biggest reason I'm posting in this thread is because it is completely illogical to me on so many different levels... I mean...
Is it just me?!?!
