Default Sport chrono delete kit ?

Has anyone gotten rid of the sport chrono wart themselves ? Any issues with disconnecting it ?
I can't stand it....but most cars are spec'd with it. Just curious...put a clean billet or painted plate in it's place....

Thoughts ??

I think you would have to get an aftermarket "plug" to fill the space in the dash ... dont know if the onboard computer needs updating if the wart is unplugged?

I think if you remove it early you gain 750 usd and no hp lost.

If the clock is unplugged, it throws a code. The way I've seen it done is to wrap the clock in some foam and zip tie it under the dash (which will be easily accessible because you'll have the dash disassembled to remove the top piece with the chrono and replace it with a new piece that doesn't have a hole.)

Now that I think about it, I have only one thought:



Dude ... you're parked across TWO handicap spots!

Just pretend that you don't see it and that it does not bother you
Most of use would never order it, but it's not THAT horrible either.

Hopefully the bitchen thicker steering wheel will divert my attention away from the wart on the dash....
And that's the dealers parking job...I don't have the car yet...
