Anybody else have the same experience? The car does drive quieter and a lot smoother. Love it now. Back to driving it again.

Happy Holidays.
If ever you replace it, again... it'll take you a couple hours. Did you get the WP while you were in there? It's a breeze with the mount out.

Replaced passenger side front parking light. I had been using a cluged wrench until today when the awesome headlight housing removal wrench (tm) arrived from pelican parts. Next up, passenger side, side marker light bulb replacement. And then, the frunk light, which would have helped with the first task.

No, previous owner did the wp, about 20k miles ago from his records. About how often does it need to be changed? I do have a new one on the shelf, when I thought it was leaking turns out it was loose clamps. Or rather cheap worm drive clamps. When I do change the WP, I’m going back to the original style clamps.

Installed Console Delete



Sooooo much more comfy for the right leg. Notice I'm using the uncovered hole for my sunglasses

My car came with Footwell Lights. They were riveted on to the old panels, so I drilled out the rivets and screwed them onto the new console.

btw - I was not able to stuff the DSP board behind, so some research found you can bypass it by jumpering pins 2 and 6 (DSP Interupt, GND) on the connector and the amp will work.
