painted and shaved alot of studs out of the firewall (clutch line holder thingy and the heater is all ripped out) that helps when you tuck wires and hid alot under the dash not having alll that heater stuff in there.

Badass build man, good luck. Makes me want to make moves on my EG8. Where did you get that awesome digital camo print. I want one of the black and white print ones for my headliner.
