Cool.
Looks like you have the modifry bracket on your dash? Are you happy with it? Any gaps left in dash? Is it good and solid? I bought one a while back but I never installed it mostly because I was worried it wouldn't be good and solid with only one screw holding it in place.

One Screw, But the Dash Bezel cliped in clamps it in place. I also use the Foam modifry has available. Its Pretty solid and easy to read and use. I have mine setup for landscape, which keeps it below the dash and out of visibility.





Here's a Video from its perspective, you can see its not flopping around like a flimsy POS, video was before I added foam


I honestly wish a mount like this existed for my other vehicles. Close enough to the wheel in "drive mode" to one button press like the dash controls, to change music or directions

PS: The above video is stock exhaust with a 63mm HFC. in case anyone was curious about sound. I replaced it a while back because my stock cat was rattling. Don't think I ever posted a sound clip.

Well, Merry Christmas.

Figured I'd start working on my steering wheel.







Cleaned, Redyed, Resealed

The seat turned out nice. I'm having my dye mixed per your suggestion. I'm not in a rush but I am hoping to have my seats completed by the end of January. I still have to steam clean the interior before putting the seats back in but that can wait for spring.

Yea man, I think that it will be worth it, that way you can do everything in the car. Man I put the top up today so I could degrease/powerwash my seat belts. But man when I opened the car to lay down the belts to dry out, its literally like a blast of smell of sitting in a new car/walking into a leather store. Its amazing lol.

Anyway, don't forget to clean your belts while the seats are out.


clean un used belt left, dirty belt right

clean belt drying out

Remove the two gold screws on each side of the fixture.

There are two small clips at the front of the light to pop off, then the light fixture comes down.
Attachment 119502

Remove the electrical connector
Attachment 119503

Take the fixture inside and remove the two gold screws holding the white thing down.

This is what mine looked like. It kinda worked when it wanted to.
Attachment 119505

Remove the slide switch but BE CAREFUL, it's easy to lose the little ball bearing detent balls.
Attachment 119506

I cleaned mine up with a brass brush in my Dremel at the lowest speed.
Attachment 119507

Works great now.

What color was ordered for the steering wheel and seat dye, and was it from www.leathertouchupdye.com?

I'd like to do the same to my steering wheel as it's one thing that bugs me about the interior of my car.
