Um, the trans tunnel is not getting covered and there is no carpet going in the car. LOL. I MIGHT bolt or rivet my STI floor mats in, but that’s it. Inside is gonna be diiiiirty. I love cars with no carpet in them. I think it looks fucking awesome. I don’t think I’m going to put any more of the interior in… I MIGHT put the glovebox in, but that’s it… ---

Those weatherpacks do look nice though, especially for engine bay connections… yea, i ordered some up little over a year ago when i discovered that when i moved the molex connected ignition driver wires around my ignition would cut out and start missing.lol Ive prolly had my MS in and out a million times though so my molex may be worn a bit leaving it loser then desired. ---

Thats what she said :run: Awesome to start seeing progress pics again. I think the carbon fiber overlay would fit in good put on top of the gauge cluster. Looks like a spring 2010 release is not out of the question :headbang: ---

Not drive it on the fog, lol. I don’t think this is going to be anything close to a daily driver. The sound levels inside the car are going to be much more distracting than fog on a windshield, but in a good way :tup: ---

Lol, yeah, I don’t plan to even drive it in the rain… I don’t think I’ll really have that problem… I DO have windshield wipers though, just in case… If the inside does fog up… I’ll just have to wipe it down, lol. ---
