As I've seen in others pictures, for some reason, the entire stereo seems to be pushed very slightly to the right once everything is screwed down, but it's only noticeable when pointed out. Taking your time is the key here. In all honesty, the work on the center console to cut the hole for the USB/AUX panel mount, and the hole through the center console cubby took almost as much time as the rest of the install combined. I didn't initially mount the mic, but my OCD kicked in and I tore out the A-pillar and got underneath to run the wire over to the head unit. Routing the mic wire up to the unit proved to be time consuming and rather tiresome if done correctly and safely. Worth noting...it is extremely nice to be able to do all of the soldering of the 2 harnesses away from the car, as there were a bunch of them, especially when you throw in a bypass lockout as well as the i88 harness. However, taking your time and doing it right the first time saves you tons of frustration on the backside...as there is plenty else for your mind to be occupied with. Don't sell the factory speakers short...once you get a nice head unit plugged up, they shine better than most factories do. I was gonna swap them out initially, but I don't think it'll be worth the trouble now. Lastly, I would like to send a huge thanks to both SVXdc as well as dwolson2. I didn't even know a kit like this existed for our car, and even if I did, I wouldn't have ever tried it without such a thorough walk through. You guys are the best...thanks a million. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/2-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/1-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/5-3.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/4-2.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/3-2.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/stavesacre21/6-2.jpg
  2. Reviving the dead...and I didn't even use this thread for a Perrin TMIC install, but simply for a TMIC removal and installation after looking for a lost clip that fell under the intercooler. Still...one of the better illustrated examples I could find. Thanks for posting.
