The spacer replaces the jam-nut below the shift knob...it cleans up the appearance a lot in my opinion, only downside is that it pushes the shift knob up about 5mm versus stock...not noticeable for me but others may disagree
I ran the USB cord along the trans tunnel and up into the lower glove box, running down the trans tunnel from the HU is straightforward but removing the glove box is a major PITA...there's threads on here that show you how to do it...finished it up by drilling a 20mm hole and a rubber grommet
The power-pack is very nice, gives the components enough muscle to be heard on the highway w/ top down...well worth the money, locating it kinda sucked only because the harness is about 2ft so you can't just tuck it behind the seats or in the spare tire area...I ended up mounting it to the side of the trans tunnel just above the gas pedal, I'll try to post pictures later.
thanks MasterForce ->
I've actually got a FR lip ordered (backordered though, gahhhh) and am contemplating the RR spoiler, I'm 50/50 at the moment
I'm gonna pass on the clear sidemarkers though, they've never really done much for me and I like the color contrast from white to orange...I think clear signals/tails/headlights/etc. remind me of the APC "Altezza" tails craze from years back which then makes me sick, haha...no offense to guys who have them, to each their own I say
(Whenever I'm installing something I always tell myself I should take pics to document but then I get into it and totally forget...so my apologies for a lack of DIY pics)
You can see the FD2 shift knob collar/spacer here...I think it makes a nice transition from shift knob to shift boot (though it does move the knob up a few mm as I said before)...I used a zip tie underneath to hold the boot FWIW...
For those that were asking where I mounted the power-pack, here's the current location...yes, I know the double stick tape method is kinda jank but there's no room to even get a drill in there under the dash. I'm already planning an improvement by fabbing up a bracket that will mount where those two plastic clips are (by replacing them with bolts/screws). For now though, the tape is rock solid.
Also -> I absolutely HATE working under the dash on this car...I think I have permanent back problems now...to mount the power-pack, I had to remove the driver's seat and lay with my back on the floor and feet propped against the roll bar...
