Love the look of this. I might do the same with the black front, but do a flat/hotrod black paint rather than a vinyl wrap.

Here's a picture of our Routan (1st day). The mods done to it so far: Removed the side vinyl pin stripes, got OEM Monster mats and got the front windows tinted.



Future plans: 20" wheels and maybe a roof rack with a large carrier

Jettago, can yo measure from the ground to the highest point on the roof rack (just the rack not the cargo box), please. I want to order a rack but have to make sure it will clear the garage.

Do you use you phone as the hotspot for the Roku?

Also, what effect did you use on the 2nd pic, looks cool!

Yes using my Nokia N8 Phone as a hotspot. I also have a usb drive hooked up just in case there isn't any service.

Used Topaz Labs Filter in Photoshop for the effects.

Here's another one.

hard to see but here is mine with a rooftop box and a hitch-mounted bike rack.

Nice job on the lighting. Looks like it could be a mod for me to do.

I just bought a 5M roll of blue smb leds from ebay for $10. I still have about half a roll left. Here's a link

For the floor lights, I tapped into the keyed cigarette outlet in the front. The middle row uses the same circuit. I hid the wires underneath the driver side door jam for the middle lights. I didn't do the rear seats because I plan on taking out the middle rows when storage is needed. I used 6 smbs per seat.

For the cup holders, I used a couple A23 12volt batteries.1 powering two cupholders. Made a simple parallel circuit. Bought the battery holders from ebay for $3 for 5 and bought a couple small on/off switches from radio shack. Here's a link. The battery and switch is in the middle of the cup holders. I glued the switch on top of the battery holder. A pretty tight fit. But turned out well. Used black electric tape on the led strips so it's not that visible. 3 smbs per cup holder.

For the overhead console, I didn't remove the entire console just the panel that holds the Rear controls and reading lights. Pretty easy to take out. Just used my keys from my 91 civic (not too sharp) to pop out the clips. Went back on nice too. I just fished the led strips through. Used 15 smbs per side. I tapped into the reading lights (Red wire and ground) and removed the red wire from the reading lights so they won't be on while the blue lights are on. The reading lights can still be turned on because of the third wire. You just need to press on them to turn on. I should probably do the same for the front reading lights so just the overhead console can be turned on. I will still have a problem with the front dome light because that cannot be turned on manually like the reading lights.
