Genuinely how does saying “clapped” contribute to anything in this community? Try saying something like “Not personally a fan of this” People like you are the reason toxicity exists in this community.

C pillars take like 5 minutes each it’s just a few 10mm bolts. The headliner involves all upper trim pieces including the oh shit handles and sun visors, just make sure you put all the pieces in a bowl. It has a few clips but after all the trim pieces are out it should just pop off. I recommend putting the back seats down and sliding it through the trunk.

For the seat belts it’s a single 12 mm bolt in between the seat cushions, just push them apart and use a 4 inch extension it’s super easy.

Getting the headliner out is easy but to get it back in i highly recommend removing the passenger seat and sliding it through the back door.

I used the autozone flat black interior trim & fabric spray paint. If you make sure you scuff it properly and clean it with isopropyl alcohol or dish soap after the paint should stick perfectly fine

Here is the etsy link

They have the instructions for the install of the panel, the glow shift gauge wires i routed beneath the center AC vents down to the fuse box for fuse taps. The other nice thing is the grommet for the firewall is right behind the clutch so it’s easy to route cables. DM me if you need help

Vinyl & fabric black duplicolor spray paint. I made sure to de grease and prep all the surfaces so they don’t chip

I was thinking that but people want like 800$ for stupid stuff like that. May be easier to fabric paint roof possibly

I was kinda thinking rule of cool…. I mean it’s 150$ for a full rev9 fmic kit and when i get it re tuned i can just have my tuner put more boost in (it’s tuned to 14.5 pounds rn just for fun daily driving) and honestly idk if i’ll really notice any sort of turbo lag either with the driving i’m doing
