Cleaned up the wiring on the sub install, something satisfying about neat wires even though no on will ever see them.

And the big project was replacing the Rearview mirror with an Autovox Dash Cam/Rearview Monitor mirror. This project was quite a pain. The wiring instructions for this were pretty bad but I eventually got it through some others who installed it already on Amazon. The second pain in the ass was removing the factory mirror button. Was pretty nervous removing this thing cause i didn't want to break the windshield but after applying lots of heat and lots of patience with a razor blade i eventually got it to come off. The third pain in the ass was gluing the supplied metal button to the window. Lets just say the Permatex glue you can buy at Auto store isn't worth shit. Tried that stuff twice before i ended ordering a glue by Verschem off Amazon, Still holding after 2 weeks so I'm happy about that. And finally got a Keyhole Camera that fits in the trunk keyhole and that install went seamlessly. Wiring it was straight forward like any other reverse camera. Also got that on Amazon and its made by a company called Yantech. :tdunno:

Did some things over the weekend.

Did ricer things, cleaned and painted by brake calipers with G2 caliper paint.

Also scored a set of Desmond RegaMasters in 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +45 off of JeffT. The wheels were repainted before and chipping all over. So, I sent them out to get them sand blasted. Hopefully I get them back early this week and then its off to the painter. Thinking of either the color the ISF wheels had or going with Kaiser Silver which the S2000 CR model wheels had

Did some prep work before the wheels get installed. Bumper tabs relocated and rear fenders rolled flat

Also got my Swift Spec-R springs installed on AP2 shocks. I don't have pics of the cars ride height yet but hopefully I can get a pic this weekend. I don't know if I'm going crazy but the Swift Springs feel more compliant over bumps and stuff then OEM

Car looks great, good to see all the GPW's on here. Really like the 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber interior pieces and the RegaMasters should look great once you get them mounted.

I did similar in my car with Di-Noc. What I did extra if you'd like to try it is cover the CF with clear vinyl. Gives it a nice appearance.
