Also wrapped my dash.

Where'd did you find the image to wrap your trim with?

It's a DIY image. I pulled an image of the character using a screen cap from the anime then used Photoshop to add detail as well as mock up the background and the sizing of the image to fit the trim piece. After that the mock up was taken into Illustrator so the entire thing can be redrawn again in vector format so it can be scaled and printed.

Here's the screen cap I used.

Yeah, good call doing the bearings. What looks to be some serious pitting.

Air bag and battery cable recall, added oil change. SA and mechanic tried to tell me that the oil that the mechanic spilled onto anything and everything is a fresh valve cover gasket leak. It's so absurd that I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't witnessed it myself. And to think I avoided the dealership that was 10 minutes from my house to go to another one that is almost an hour away. Never again.

It feels pretty good. I haven't really tested it much since I only got it installed yesterday. Give me a few days and I will give you a better evaluation.

You should consider... For a small fee doing for those who wouldn't be able to figure out how. They can ship you their trim and then you ship it back.
