myKITT.de - My Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica

Today, I brought my car to the paint shop. To show, that the cars often look great on pictures, but having a lot of bugs in reality, I'm presenting some detailled pictures now. All bugs will of course be removed before the car will be repainted. After the paint-job the car will be like new.

Today, we mounted the new exhaust system. The exhaust pipes look much more authentic now than the old stainless steel pipes, which were much too eye-catching. Additionally we closed the holes in the new rearbumper with component glue and installed sporty reflectors to it. In Germany, cars with black taillights need additional reflectors.

Today, I got my speaking software, which is a combination of "Dragon Naturally Speaking 8" and a software written by Chris Groeling from project-KITT.de. It reacts on spoken sentences and answers with the proper lines from K.I.T.T. in German with the original voice of K.I.T.T. from the show (Gottfried Kramer).

Today, I reveived my new exhaust system from "Cars & Stripes", which will replace my old one. Additionally, I want to replace the stainless steel exhaust pipes, that the pre-owner of my car had installed. So, I will soon have the original standard look back again.
I also ordered a panel to fit a modern radio system into the car, which has also been delivered today.

Over the past days, we removed the new carpet to lay all necessary cables into the car. We also installed outside speakers for the voice output of the alarm system. Finally, we layed the new carpet again into the car and installed the backseats.

Today we layed the new carpet into the car. It fits perfectly, though its not an original product. Additionally, we pre-installed the dashboard, to see if it fits. But it will still need some work to fit perfect.
