Weekend Update

Tried to get them both in one shot (iPhone):



I had two projects going.

One: I wanted to install some form of GPS, but I didn't want it to have a wire coming from the cigarette lighter. The F90BT wasn't my first choice, but I got it so cheap it didn't matter. It was lined up when I drilled the bracket, but it's a little uneven the way it sits now. Oh well, ***** to the stock HU.

Two: The shift ****. My OEM one was scratched up and peeling and I hated it TBH. I searched the forums high and dry and found Marcus (CandlestickPark) as the only other 05-06 Sedan to do this one. Marcus' installer gave me some good pointers, so I took a stab at it. It requires heavy modification and isn't perfect, but it feels soooo much better and sits lower. The good thing about this is I can still go back to the bulky OEM one anytime.

In before 'cool story bro'.

I probably still prefer the aluminum accent on the stock 05/06 ****, but that looks clean for sure! Nice work!

If you're patient, you can find one for as low as $200. But they get snagged up at that price. I got mine for $260.

Thanks for all the comments.
