Nice. The wire seems a bit short for a stealth install. You have light color interior, so it's hard not to see it.
Yeah, the wire could be a little longer, but it works. I'm going to clean up the install a little and hide the wire better. It's still long enough to be able to place the controller in an area close enough to be a comfortable reach while driving.

My beloved wife (who really is a terrific person) barely tolerates my mods. And that's because they are not expensive. If I ever scoped out a set of forged wheels I'd be in deep doo doo.

Just installed my velocity unit and I am extremely impressed. When I pulled out of my garage, the level indicator light that was lit was on one end so I figured it was level 1. Well my car toooooook off. Unbelievable torque hit me immediately. I quickly realized I was on the other side of the level indicators and on level 4. I would concur with others that sprintbooster falls somewhere in between level 2 and 3. Level 4 put a huge smile on my face, but I would advise having a clear path ahead of you to use that level because it will pull very quickly and I promise you won't be able to react as quickly as needed if there is a car nearby in front. I am astounded at how easily thing operates and how it can adjust on the fly as you drive. Very intelligent device. Took literally 2 minutes to install. I unscrewed the right leg side panel to get a little give and tucked the wire inside that panel. Double sided 3M tape for the controller.
Thats what I was really wondering...
Well looks like i have to change my wants now.

Thanks, I see it. If this thing is as awesome as advertised, and enough interest is generated, maybe a group buy could be worked out.
