This is absolutely amazing stuff.

What kind of rear bumper is that? Is it just the euro bumper minus the rubber strip?

Yes, it is. The holes have been filled up with filler. Sadly, At some point those filled up holes will show up again.

Took a pic of the passenger side regarding the piece you asked about earlier as I was taking more of my interior apart today.

Thank you.
I think think the leather prefents squeaking. I am not going to take the dashboard out again. I will do without the leather. I hope I won't get annoyed by a squeaking dash.

If done properly it will absolutely never show up again.

Please elaborate. Why would it show up? Fiberglass holes of that small diameter are piece of cake to fix forever.

After all that work and your not going to unscrew some bolts and screws then tighten them? Do without? You know your dash is going to squeak right? It's not at all hard to remove. It just needs to slide foward a little bit, install the pads then slide back.

I see you could use some re plated hardware.

Good idea with the USB connections, that's really cool. What're you using them for? Just charging?

Car's really coming together, great stuff!
