WOW! Absolutely SPECTACULAR! I applaud! This gives me a clear goal in how I'd like my FRS to look when I get her. Not exactly the same, but certainly taking ideas off of your build!

Amazing! :happy0180:

Tell us more about that radar detector hard mount. I've hard wired, but my suction cups suck. Love to find an alternative.

Here you go. I am assuming that you have a Valentine One or Escort.

The following is for Valentine One, but you can get Escort as well.

Only when braking hard. The strut tower has a built in Brake Booster Brace that gives great pedal feel under heavy braking. Even when pushed hard around corners I can't tell if the brace is helping because I made too many changes at once. Wheels, Strut and Springs.

No. I have to replace the whole unit. Not worth it.
