Have a link to the guideline calibration thread?

I have a fish tape yet still found it easier to remove the rear seat and trim panel to route the wire. I'm also a big fan of soldering and heat-shrink tubing for secure electrical connections.

As to line adjustment, there's more information that I'm not finding at this time. The end of the original installation post previously referenced (and to which you replied following your installation) supplies the method for getting into the adjustment menu. Without detailed instructions I ended up fiddling with all of the gridline adjustments until I found the best-possible line positions. If I find the slightly more detailed post I'll let you know.

Yep, I can get into the menu and move the lines. Just wondering if the thread you mentioned might have some alignment tips.

Also try information in this post:

to adjust the backup lines.

Was searching when you made this reply. I didn't find any detailed adjustment instructions ... I just adjusted one parameter at a time until I got the lines where I wanted them.

At first I used the 12v Accessory Plug from the glove box. Since that worked great, I bought the plug from Lowes as described and shown in this thread:

Ok, that's cool. Wish there was a way to make the grid spread a bit wider, to more closely align with the width of the car.

I was able to knock the pin out and press it back in with some rather crude methods and improper tools. A punch would have been nice. Crazy thing is, I was just at the hardware store before I got home and found this in the mail. Too excited to wait or go get the right tool.)

What would be the right tool for the job?

I ordered swift springs online today yes, I did that for you, BRZ

A roll pin punch.

Completely agree. Nevertheless, the camera provides much greater comfort when backing from my driveway or a parking spot.

Absolutely.

I almost always roll down my driver's side window and stick my head out when I'm backing up, so I've got a good view of that side of my car. I park in a garage at work, and once backed into a spot, got out, and found the bumper about a fingernail's width away from a concrete wall, and knew I needed the backup camera installed ASAP (had it sitting in the box a couple weeks).

While I might be tempted to remove the grid lines if we had that capability, they do help me backup with confidence, knowing exactly when I'm within 24" of the wall.

Then installed my STI replica kit from JonMotoring. Great fitment. Can second that the double sided tape that is included is not the best. I went ahead and used 3M VBH tape and it was flawless.

Looks Great! I am ordering the same kit today. Did you paint the Sti kit parts? Do you need to?

Order my new rims 2 weeks ago from Prime Motoring, and still waiting for them.

It might take another 4-6 weeks.

They will be shipped from Japan cuz they are not in stock in the United States.
