    ...so do I need to rep you before you find it and just hope you find it? Or do you find it and risk what I threatened with not giving you reps?

    Oh, snap, son...

    And are you seriously wanting reps over yeungling?

    Honestly, I'd recommend the GSR center console over the CRX dash. If you work slowly and a little methodically the CRX dash swap isn't hard. I did it with out a write-up. It basically went like this...remove hatch dash carefully, install CRX dash. The tough part was getting the dash wiring out of the old dash. The only thing that didn't line up for me was the lower center stack support. The tab for the stock dash support is about 3-ish inches forward of the one on the CRX dash.

    That MAY be what's holding my dash up and not letting it settle... You can't tell without close observation, but if you check it closely, you can tell the center is higher than the sides. And the sides sit probably 1/4 or 1/2inch higher than where teh A-pillars flare out to meet the dash...
