you can get it without it lol I liked the function of it of having a shift light and being able to look at some info without taking my eyes off the road as much

You have enough gauges on your dash I'm surprised you haven't gone lopsided in your eyes (1 eye on the road, the other on your cluster)

lol I did notice that after the fact lol. I'm actually probably going to remove the factory gauge and put the aeroforce on the pillar and leave it like that. Looks alittle cleaner i guess. I do at time take off the rpd tho so yeah lol

I love the rpd. I just had to get one after having one on my coupe and learning that sedans didn't come with it. I sourced on for like 150 and had to get the harness separate but well worth the money

I should have bought Brett's after he totaled his car, had the pillar and everything needed for it. I ended up buyin his interceptors from him though.

The only problem is the coupe pillar doesn't fit the sedan. As of now I haven't found someone that makes one for the sedan

I think Brett had one made or made it himself. @brxttz I know he hasn't been around here for a while, but maybe he'll see this....

You can actually jam a coupe pillar in there and it "fits" it just doesn't fit at the top if I recall. But it's super easy to make one properly for the sedan!

You might want to check your motor/trans mounts for slop. Any time I've ever killed a flex pipe, it's generally because the engine/trans mounts were on their way out and were allowing too much engine movement, thereby destroying the flexpipe.

Is that a progressive shift light system? I'm interested in something like that, but the thickness at the top does throw me off a bit. What does the center screen do? I think I'd want my shift lights statically mounted too. I'm curious about the programming for something like that.

yup it should be progressive. It comes with a separate box that need to be connected to the obd2 port and give you a separate port so you can still connect a reader or something else. My guess since the wheel it self only has a power and ground wire. It connects to that via Bluetooth. The screen in the middle is a gauge that gives information such as mph,revs ect need to get the manual out and see exactly what it gives not sure if its as much info as the interceptor gauge. The wheel is a big thicker than stock but you get used to it fast

Excellent advice! I have solid lower mounts and indeed, one is cracked. The upper mount is original.

Torqued everything to spec in the front suspension. Well i missed the cradle bolts lol. Yesterday I finished the sound deadening on the car. I could do more but that should be enough for now. I'll probably do the doors one at a time one day since I still have material left.

Also installed the Turboxs FL axle back portion on the car again since I dont have cold start and wont be annoying.

Oh certainly. But in the end it gets covered up so I'm not too worried about my completed work. My job has been killing me as of late so I haven't had the time or energy to continue.
