I pulled the dash, and will trim it and fit it back in myself. Eric still has my car, He is working on the front end.

So for the 7th and 8th point that go towards the tranny tunnel. That is legal even thought they don't actually mount to the tranny tunnel?

Sorry I don't have better pictures at the moment but hopefully you can see...

I also pulled my own dash and reinstalled it, (they can do it as well it just takes time and money). The only piece that needs to be visibly trimmed is the plastic dash top cover that goes to the windshield. The bars are tucked far enough back that the main dash piece does not need to be notched, just trimmed behind the drivers side vent (fuel gauge in picture) but that is not visible once installed.

The drivers side is tucked up far enough that in hind sight I probably should have notched it from the side and not the front, but I got some rubber grommets to cover the gap around the bars.

Just picked mine up from Eric @ MWC and dropped off a buddies. He does SICK work. Going to prob put some kind of trim around it to give it a real clean look.

Shity iPhone pics, will take some better ones later with my nice camera.

That's really nice to see. Where did you get the padding for the door bars?

I saw your car in person 2 times actually. Just saw it sat morning. My car was the red trans am outside.. I had to check out all his front end parts that will be going on my car in the next week or two hopefully.

After see your rear caliper setup i really wanted to do the duals. I only have singles for now..

We can trade rear ends if you would like. Mine is only a spool with 35 spline..

Yes all of my interior panels went back in no problem except for one. The divers side kick panel where it has the "foot" rest had to be trimmed to fit behind the down bar.
