They look clean and was hoping you weren't going to say that. I thought they were after zooming in, they do look good.

Do you have any suggestion on how to remove the rear door panel? I want to check my speakers and power window motor (it's only go down half way and stuck).

thanks

Got the double din in. Everything wired, backup cam done. That white dot is where i wanted to drill a hole for my bass **** but i couldn't bring myself to do it. Put it in the cubby hole instead. A little difficult to use but i'll probably get used to it

I used to have the **** in the same cubby as you... Considering the wide gamut of music that makes its way through my speakers, I needed the **** more immediately.

So I broke out the drill.
Bass ****, stereo power switch (I like a hard switch for resetting), illuminated exhaust cutout controls and the factory ECT button.
Wish the coloring matched, but, oh well.

If you do decide to drill, be careful. The front is laminated in a way that can crack pretty easily. Start small, blah blah blah. Thankfully, my holes are smaller than the bezels/**** so cracks are covered.
I bought a replacement on eBay for $25 just in case.

Honestly, I'm keeping mine in case I ever get around to redoing the spacing on the exhaust buttons...

But I did find some results that could work for you.

Just that panel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/402174420610 $35.00 + Shipping, could maybe make an offer and haggle
Assembly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274826353087 $35.99 + Free shipping
Assembly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/113467557256 $20 + Shipping, in Arkansas, may be cheaper to ship for you

Starting to look at trunk layout. The box represents the 1 cubic foot fiberglass box i will have for the 10w3. Trunk is still going to be huge! The false wall will be behind the cover for the spare tire just as i had hoped
