NM Newbie Questions, Guidance Appreciated!

New Mexico FD owner here; new to the scene. Have four newbie questions:

1) Where can I find all the exploded axon drawings/diagrams I see peppered throughout the forums? I'm looking to buy very specific parts eventually and I'd like to be able to specify/ask for exactly what I need. Interior parts especially.

2) Can anyone recommend a front bumper cover/bra that works well and looks decent? Our FD is Montego Blue, so black would look nice, and I also remember someone talking about a clear option from 3M? Does that exist?

3) (I'm really showing my Newbieness here..) How much difference does a garage make in the winter months? Our FD is garaged most of the time. We'll leave it out for a few days when we feel like driving and cleaning/maintaining it. It's been pretty dang cold here the past few days. Does keeping the car in a garage in freezing temps really make that much a difference than outside?

4) Does anyone have a description of the setup of the Bose wave speaker system? I'm familiar with car audio, I just haven't inspected the system up close yet. How many amps run the speakers? Where are the amps located?

Thanks for any guidance!

Charlie from NM (still looking for anyone in our area with an RX7!)

Here are the free Factory Service Manuals for the FD from Foxed.ca. -> Foxed.ca FREE FSM: 3rd Generation RX-7

I would garage my car every day/night if I had the option. If the Bose system isn't explained by a pamphlet or in the free FD FSM's, then there's probably someone that can explain it. There's so much information about these cars on this forum. Feel free to look around. The FAQ for 3rd Gen & other links may be something worth checking out.

Here's a link to your regional forum. There is most likely someone close! -> Mountain RX-7 Forum

dwb87 thanks for the help! The manuals are just what I was hoping to find! I have a detached garage in the backyard, it's great for storage but pretty inconvenient for in and out all the time. Plus the battery was dying and it needed a jump every time, fixed now so it's a bit easier haha. I'll continue looking around the forum for Bose information. Thanks again for your help!
