I love that feeling of driving my car for the first time again after a month of driving a civic or bronco.

Put in a pioneer avh-p3300bt. I'm glad I decided to finally get rid of the factory radio. It's nice listening to free Internet radio or my music library.

Installed the Sikky solid aluminum subframe bushings that I've had laying around for a few months. Made a huge difference.

I am also about to buy these seats (in red though). They are replicas of "real" brides, but that is ok... I have "real" wheels, and can understand the frustration of "posers" and the question of quality, but you can't be upset if someone else's replica makes them happy imho. I am curious to see what rails people suggest, but currently I am planning on buying the megan brackets. Hopefully they work out alright!

Installed OEM floor mats! I went to install the 380RS gas pedal but I can't get my head in there far enough to see the back so I need to look up instructions...lol. I also ordered some grey 3M Scotchprint 1080 wrap for my switch covers that are peeling.

Edit: I found the instructions and the pedal is now installed! My first "real" mod, woot!
