YOu dont need to drill. In the middle of the car there is a rubber plug in a hole. You can pop the rubber out, slice a hole in it, run your powerline through, and re-seat the plug. Turns out better than a factory job.

can shoot a pic in the next couple of days if you cant find it.

It come out BEHIND your radio on the inside...... and its dope.

I've got an auto in my truck. But I also have the system in the truck as well. I love being able to cruise, listening to my music without worrying to shift.

But it is a must that if we get a car, it has to be a standard. Wife's rule

wtf? The biggest advantage of a standard is more towing power!

Give me an auto for towing any day. Reason? Ever tried to control your trailer sway while slowing down from highway speed to town speed around a curve with a stick? its a lot more complicated unless you float shift, which is rather hard on transmissions in consumer grade vehicles..

The only time I'd take a manual for towing is if I had a diesel with an exhaust brake, or needed to tow up a steep hill on a regular basis.

now, I better stop + before this thread gets locked

yeah I got an auto and RWD... on my truck.

my other 2 are standards and FWD. I was trying to get a RARE Baja (paint was the WRX colors which was not offered on Baja), but Subaru didn't want to work with me.
