well seems like a lot of person are wondering about the switches

ok, the big blue one is for my rear defrost, since i don't have the button anymore on the arm rest, i needed it somewhere else. (and beleive me, we need it in canada) i wasn't able to find a complete black one, i had to chosse between red and blue, i chosed blue since the interior used to be blue. maybe i should have changed it this year... oh well, too late

the three red switches are :

fan mod
seq/non-seq switch
antenna (since i don't have an intercooler fan yet)

the HKS sticker was just to cover the plastic patch with my ugly spray can paint that i made on the stock intercooler duct hole (for the stock intake). This year, the stock intercooler isn't going to be there anymore.

TIA if you answer any of these Q's
as for the 3k, i am installing a PFC this year so no more 3k hesitation. It wasn't too bad on my car though.

i still use the stock O2 sensor, why?

How did you create a switch for seq vs. nonsequential? Can you show and tell and/or did you find it somewhere?

Is there a write up on how to remove all those plastic panels? I had trouble removing the gauge cluster plastic. Also, who painted the plastic and how much did it cost?

Hey, can I possibly relocate the "set cruise" button (just the one button) to one of the aftermarket steering wheel buttons and the horn to the other?? I'd really like an aftermarket wheel...but I have to keep the horn and cruise control!

nope you won't be able to do that, once you get the adaptor for the aftermarket steering wheel, you'll understand.

that sucks. What other options do I have? It sure is nice to have the cruise on 6-10 hour drives...also helps keeps my ticket rate down

It looks like you did a pretty custom job on your car, so I wouldnt' be able to use that, I just need something simple and doesn't stick out. Thanks for the info.

Your interior looks really nice!

If you can write a quick step by step on how you relocated your controls I would really appreciate it.

I am looking at it closely and it came out really neat. Did you cut them out? How on earth did you do it?

Thanks

Anthony

It looks FAR better than the blue. I may honestly try to go with some silver touches myself on the plastic panels. Very nice job.
