Thanks. I'm trying to maintain before modding as they say. The fender isn't perfect and I could probably use more clearcoat as it doesn't quite have a glass finish but it'll work for now.

Can you tell any difference with the blocks in? I'd imagine not since they're pretty small.
I don't really know if the blocks will do anything right now since I don't have instrumentation yet but I figured it probably won't hurt since those openings are only for looks anyway. Once I either finish the OBDuino or get a scangauge I can actually do some testing on them.

I don't think I'll need the mega for the OBDuino but there are a few advantages to it over the uno for testing/prototyping purposes one of the biggest being that it handles higher voltage levels better but also because I want to add some extra features and shields to the project I'd rather have the extra pins. I plan to use a graphic lcd as well so that uses up a lot more pins than a standard character lcd does.
