looks good, really liking the fuzzy steering wheel how did you do it??
More pics of the hazard light mounting area please! This is what I've been planning for a while, just not enough time to do it.
are you going to do the door panel pieces in carbon to match? i always wondered why the rex speed kit doesnt include door pieces

I drilled holes in the top of the cubby and dropped down the hazard power wire and new 12" extended ribbon cable. As far as mounting, when you trim the switch down it BARELY fits. So I simply put 3m double sided tape on top of the switch squeezed it into the cubby hole (VERY tight fit). Its very surprisingly very solidly mounted (which is why I tossed out the whole fancy carbon idea)

Thinking about taking this on myself. Really don't want to mess with CF or fiberglass though. Thinking about what else I can fill that hole with and throw on some bondo? Then wrap it with some CF Di Noc vinyl? This would allow me to angle the gauges a bit too.
Ideas? Where did you find the ribbon cable long enough to drop your hazards?
And does anybody know the part number for the trim piece?

Because I really don't like the prosport wideband and I also don't like the AEM Tru Boost... lol. So I picked the 2 gauges that I liked ( I did end up getting a cover for the prosport that makes it look a lot better next to the aem )

This may sound silly, but did you try turning on the car without the hazard switch plugged in? I wonder if you could just wire a normal pushbutton up in the cubby to put the hazards on and forget about the passenger airbag thing.
and lulz, I did the same thing for gauges OP
