2.0 out of 5 stars A few good ideas, but poorly executed, 24 Oct 2006
By Simon Lytton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought this book would be really interesting and to an extent it was. However, it proposed and demonstrated a shockingly poor level of workmanship in the installations it covers. The book advocates most things being either glued or velcroed into the car, with bits of the interior being hacked at very untidily. I have seen much better jobs done by amateurs on car forums, with the simple addition of a careful, planned approach and attention to how it will look, hold together, feel and work. I'm sure the author's gadgets work, but there my respect for his skills ends. Disappointing.
