Nice job! The heater box and cables take up a lot less space than an aftermarket in-dash unit. And you don't have coolant hoses running into the cabin. But V/A changed that with their latest units and caught up with Old Air.

I'm pretty much locked into an in-dash unit because I cut dashboard holes for the factory vents.
