Really like the Vitara dash pod. Genius !!!!
From your description of how you got it you've done so much.... How about some fiberglass to blend the pod into the rest of the dash. I couldn't but I'm sure you could. Its certainly given me an idea for my next build.

I think someone listed the part number (& price) for the Mercedes high steer arms.
Could do with seeing the details again.

Got to be said, I got a light bar recently and it's bloody brilliant. Mine's only a 20" 210w so that 40 ish one must be epic.
With the black and lime colour scheme I reckon some of the smoked LED lights would really look nice in there
