Every once in awhile, TomatoSoup will let slip a mod he's done, then have to post a quick "how-to" at someone's request. I really don't think he likes to do that, as he surely knows how much it crushes all of our egos. He does, however take what must be an immense amount of time to put together these detailed posts with pictures and diagrams so that anyone else insanely skilled can duplicate them.
His latest example is the touch-sensitive and backlit heated seat controllers with his own fabricated circuit board that allows for three levels of heat:

http://www.kappaperformance.com/forum/index.php/topic,9292.msg153299.html#msg153299I'm f*#$in' around with BiC pens on a scrollsaw, thinking I'm hot $h*t and meanwhile this guy is devising advanced circuits, laser etching his own multi-colored overlays and building miniature iPads to control his seat warmers! But I think I've figured it out.
You're Q, aren't you, Marc?
It's the only explanation that makes sense - and allows me to still feel like I can go on with my own home-brew mods and not be laughed at.
With this in mind, I've come up with a short list of what mods I'd like to see TS take on next. Please add to the list in this thread as you all see fit:
1) Blind spot detection system, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go
2) Dual pane panoramic sunroof for coupes and convertibles
3) Night vision camera with holographic HUD display
4) Self-protection jammer, chaff and flare dispensers
Marc, if you've already done these mods, please post one of your very-detailed show and tell threads so we can all duplicate them
