Hope to bring some news once that is done.

Quite a few places



Almost none of the foam is there originally. Just bare metal and plastic.

There's a wire that runs up the driver side A pillar and then is stuck to the headliner. It's quite rattle-y as it isn't held in place very well by its plastic clips. While this car has its rattles, its a dream compared to the 08 mazdaspeed 3 I had and the build quality is WAY better. Once you took the interior apart on that car, there was no way to get it back together again without it looking like shit. Not to mention, the entire car sounded like it was falling apart driving on the freeway.
