    Epic day today with William (wsmeyer). Accomplished 4 sweet mods all at once, and kinda related. Originally we were just going to do the paddle shift mod but that morphed into other stuff. Please excuse yet more poor cell phone pics.

    1st - installed paddle shifter mod that Ryan sold me. Absolutely love it. That, along with the Dinan STEP shift s/w makes the car shift much quicker. It's way more fun to drive, the paddles feel great, and it was very straightforward thanks to Ryan (whitexi) essentially selling me his whole setup. It seems like a different car and the STEP M mode (manual) is no longer an albatross. Some pics.







    2nd - while in there, we moved the Parrot Bluetooth mic from up above in the reading lights area w/o good voice pickup to the OEM mic location that's on the steering wheel column. This involved a little re-routing and then a cut/splice/switch of the OEM mic to the Parrot mic.







    Overview shot.



    3rd - While the center shift boot, etc was out, we did the (vert only) individual windows auto-up, auto-down mod which is essentially taking off a clip and programming the car for it.


    4th - While programming, William also set the top for "keyfob close". You could hold the unlock button and the top would lower remotely, but you couldn't close it that way. Now, you hold the lock button and the top will close.





    Thanks to William for his expertise and again to Ryan for selling me his setup.

    EDIT: pic of completed work.

    Thanks. I'll probably change out the paddle shifters to something that complements the interior more.

    You swapped out your perforated leather wheel for that?

    IMO I'd rather have that wheel than the paddle shifters.

    lol. Trust me, I already miss my perforated leather. It's some consolation that it has the tri-stitch in the center which you can't see. Down the road I'll get the whole wheel re-wrapped with perforated leather and the tri-stitch, but it's just too expensive at this time. I'm also going to switch out the paddles soon. The fun factor was too much to ignore on this one so I wasn't going to wait until I re-wrapped. The harsh flash doesn't do the wheel justice though, it magnifies any small imperfection.... it's in very good shape, other than a little shiny from wear, (and no perforation!).

    Thanks all. Ryan, I already have! And, yes Jon, they are so much fun. It does kinda make you feel like that. I remember renting a Miata with paddles and it was a blast.
