Kenwood looks good and if you like it better than that's money well spent for you. However, I fail to see why you'd change when the stock unit does the same thing.

Does the one piece dash trim have the same size cutout as the stock piece? I installed an aftermarket 6.95in Sony AX5000 and had to get a bracket to fill the gaps. Looks a lot cleaner with your one piece!

The single piece dash trim has the cutout to accommodate the 200mm head units without the need for the side brackets to fill the gaps. But you must search for the 200mm head units specifically if you don't want to use the brackets.

installed coilovers and 18x9.5 +38 ambit wheels with nankang NS-25 265/35/18 tires. rides way better than my old setup can't believe it was $900 for the wheels and tires. rides better than my stock suspension with some bridgestone tires. need an alignment but honestly can't tell while driving. drives straight and no change from before I installed the coilovers....probably have some messed up toe or something though.

Do you feel this piece was worth the high price? Also do you know which model you got? There are close to 6 different ones on ft86speedfactory and they all look basically the same but some has a status light and others do not.

Been tempted to get this for a long time..

Got mine for ~$96 shipped from a dealer. Should have seen if my dealer would price match another and got it for $85.

Wow that is quite a bit cheaper than what is found on Ft86speedfactory. Is it the same product? I noticed your product code leads me to information saying it is only compatible with 2018-2020 cars, but I would think nothing has changed in the model years as far as the push button goes. And on ft86speedfactory the item code is SOA31CA023.

Do all the wordings on your button light up as well?

I suspect it should be the same as all models. The words do light up. It looks to me like they replaced the first 3 numbers of the part number I gave with SOA. Ignore the shift knob.....

Washed it and went for a drive. Then updated my FB cover photo with a new pic.

CBRZY · 06-02-2020, 03:19 PM

Today I took it to a repair shop because I heard a clunking noise while braking at low speeds.
Not the most exciting thing, but it's a thing.

Thank you!

I'm running the Bayson R MPX lip and 20mm H&R Trak+ spacers all around.
