just finished putting in the Overhead Console. i was kind of worried about cutting into the roof liner, but now that i have done the whole thing, lol, i found it super easy. finally i have everything in that the car should have came with imho, well other than the triple gauges, but that’s next, and the last thing.

anyone else have one in and loving it? only thing i am going to add is some elastic straps to the inside top of it, great place to put registration and insurance info and things like that..

there is LOTS of room for error. you are only making holes for bolts and screws to go in. small ones, the biggest being maybe 2x2 inches, all cuts are covered by the console anyway. even if you really messed up noone would see it.

i wished i had taken photos of the install. shoot!

WOW! That's cool! Very nice. Does it make that Star Trek USS Enterprise "whoosh" sound when you open it? J/k! :P
But yeah, very nicely done. At first I thought it came standard with the car.

And that dual rear-view mirror's a first for me. (I see you)

So is it that the N.A. version has the 2 pockets and the JDM (which I'm assuming you have) only has the 1?

yes the japan version is a kleenex box holder. so it's made to hold those slimmer kleenex boxes.
