Nice! I have the same stereo setup myself and love it.
Thank you! Yes this was a necessary upgrade, the Beat Sonic made it seamless. I had to change some AV settings (change rear video source to dvd) to get the factory nav screen to display video, and also added a back up camera. No complaints so far

yes switching to DVD on either/both screens requires a few steps to do and to have the machine think the parking brake is on.
Thanks OBT, don't see many of this color around. As you probably already know, the color changes depending on the light so I had to wait for the right moment to catch the ray of sun.
Yeah, TAP is a rare color. Never seen one in the metal other than mine. Just a few pics of other TAPs like yours. It's blackish at night, deep brown in low light and almost purple in bright light. Enjoy in good health.
Uninstalling the trunk pieces so I can install the coilovers. I want to have a chat with the engineer who designed those pieces. Surely there is a way to create a carpet piece right above the bolts for the shocks, so we do not have to uninstalled the entire trunk just to get to those bolts I am taking a break now. My back is sore. Being tall, it is a real pain to work on this car since it is low to the ground. That was a big job in itself. I noticed that I think someone had removed some of those clips before, and did a poor job on putting things back. I am missing some clips, and some of the bolts are not tight.
I also notice on the driver side, there is little plastic with gas sign. I am assuming it is to open the gas door. Is this thing just hanging free or should it be tucked in somewhere?
....my gas door release is also hanging free, but out of the way, so I'm assuming that's the way it should be. Also you might do a search on the early threads about rear coilovers, one of the members did a cutout in the carper area, that made future work/adjustments alot easier
....I'll try to do a search or find my info on my ISF sway, as Alex posted, this is really a great mod........my wife even noticed the difference in my car's ride....lol

Great thanks for confirming the gas door release!
I have seen members here who made small cutout (around 1.5 in) in carpet area to adjust the coilover, which I am planning to do as well. But after uninstalling the whole trunk, I am really leaning making a larger cutout, like 4-5 inch, on mine so I can access the bolts for the coilover, if I ever need to make any changes.
