that radio sure looks like a pain to use now! i've got a scangauge down there, and i literally need to be parked to do any adjustments on it.

i assume you're going to be adding gauges in the previous 2-din slot?

I had gauges there previously. It's a steel plate, so it'll allow something with a magnet to stick to it. I rigged an ipad case with a magnet super glued to the back for ECUTEK to run on. Or a phone mount.

I like the radio in this spot. All I ever do is adjust volume, so the inaccessibility of the buttons didn't inconvenience me in the last two years it's been there

Seems legit, and cheap per HP. I just ordered 50. May need stronger brakes.

Gave it an exterior detail.
Paint, wheels, fender liners cleaned.
Went over the coating with a top coat Sio2 maintenance spray. Rubber and trim were dressed. I tried a new product for rubber/trim.

Installed my Alcon CAR97 Mono 6 Big Brake Kit 355x32mm Rotors. SSR GTV02 18x8.5 +44 cleared them easily (for reference).
