Car coming home tomorrow. New brakes all the way around. Front calipers repainted and TT rear calipers installed. Battle Ground rear suspension parts installed. Everything looks great.

Seems I out smarted myself on bracket for the remote start.............it didn't fit

So, out with the jig saw and grinder and here's what we end up with. Removed the bracket that held the module for the telescoping steering wheel and relocated it. Drilled some holes in the factory bracket and parts I cut and we end up with this. Fits perfect now and easy to get to.

I love it when a plan comes together. Not a lot of love on this thread anymore though. I guess I should break out a can of spray paint and paint my interior. Everybody loves those threads.

Yea no kidding, I would love for you to do the wiring in my car!

I'm reinstalling my carPC in the new year along with the AdvanceKeys pushbutton proximity system, and I'm dreading the mess of wires its gonna be. Can you point me to any tutorial videos that outline how clean you get your soldering and wiring in general to look? Or is that all just your own experience?

I also wanted to ask you about your amp rack. I placed my PC in the spot of the stock CD changer, and mangled the stock rack to fit my Alpine PDX amp in the stock amp location. But the whole rack was barely held together with bent pieces of metal and screws (that would always come loose) underneath the liner. Any tips on how to get it as clean and secure as yours? Suggestions of where to source some of the brackets you used?
