Had to take it apart, instal it how the guy suggested and it fit right. Overall I’m very happy with it.

What size screw holds on the side covers of the center console?

Found the dang brackets and a shifter boot I bought years ago!!!

The car is 100% back together. Know what that means….time to take it apart and do the mirrors.

Depending on just how big it ends up packed would be either regular luggage (just have to ship it as "odd proportioned" aka pick it up on the special conveyor belt) or oversized (like my bikes). I'd be concerned about damage though - airlines have snapped their fair share of carbon bike frames.

I can tell I’m happy with it as I keep going and looking at the picture of it.

Don't they have to be declared and inspected or something?

I am sure there are rules I’ve never looked into them.

If my family needed it then it would be gone tomorrow. But right now we are good and I enjoy it so might as well.

Yeah they basically do any option you want. Also you can get the aluminum e-brake button from 3SX.

I did get the button from 3sx. 38 bucks. It cost more for them to ship it than the part did 🙄.

I have a spare e brake that I was thinking of taking apart, powder coating, greasing, and then doing all this too. But that’s also overkill when I can prob do it all to the attached one in my car.

All the stuff from redline came in. I need this plastic past

Well 3sx didn’t have it. I asked a couple people on 3si that make stuff for us if they thought of making it. They both said they don’t see the need. Okay. Fine.

So I ordered some 1x1 aluminum round stock from mcmastercarr and I will throw it on the lathe and make it. I am sure Aaron could make me a file to 3d print off my measurements but it’s okay.
