Tein EDFC in center console

With the CS, I knew it was time to also step up to an EDFC, but where to put it?










The installation was amazingly more simple than I thought it would be. I removed the tray from the car, popped out the red part of the 'not an ashtray', and dremelled out a rectangle in the back for the EDFC to slide into. The result is amazing.







Also, with the illuminatin wire hooked up, it auto-dims at night when I pop on the lights, with both day and night settings being configurable. Yet another impressive product from Tein.

Very Clean! I am thinking if I should upgrade to Flex and get that EDFC. But, it's kinda useless since I need it on the stiffest setting, or else I rub

Funny, none of you guys post up until I go and do it... here I thought I was being creative, but I guess its old news!

The interesting thing is, I can still keep my cell in that pocket, and there is even more room on top of the edfc to store things than before with the red 'naa' there. Its an amazing amount of wasted space.

my pics were posted by fellow member JAXFLTSX on 3/10/07 because we were at his house for the install meet, but it clearly states the mod was for my car
