Thumbs up custom mounted my EDFC!

hey guys, well the flex is all installed and now it was time for my EDFC. I have been trying to look for a location thats suitable for some time. I want it accessable yet not in my face every second(its kinda bright) so herres the locations i first thought of:
*sh tray- edfc is too wide
*coin holder(located in front of fuse pannel)-edfc is too wide also
*glove box-hard to get to while driving
*center console-Wouldnt fit, I have it piled to the brim with crap
*under dash in frotn of shifter- thought of that too but everyone has it there, also i would be looking at it all the time.

SOOO after looking and looking i decided to place it over head in the sunglass storage thing. Reason for this: Edfc would fit like a glove, would not have to be looking at it all the tijme(i rarely will change settings). I can easily access it, and also i dont even use it since my sunglasses (thick SPY's) wont fit anyways. Weell after a little modifications i have came up with this. Its not a great pic but you get the idea. hate it or love it later

Very nice and clean in my opinion. By the way, I thought you were selling your evo? Are you keeping it for sure now?

I ran front motors (enginebay)through the firewall(fright above the gas pedal) in a gromout..up the a-pillar and to the unit. The rear were ran behind the seat, up the rear(i dont know what its called?)into the headliner, and then striaght shot to the edfc unit in the celing, its acutally a really shorter distance then running it under the carpet, etc.

Havent had em that long, ive been out maybe 3 times. But from stocksuspension with s-techs to this...they are MUCH stiffer(on the hardest setting) on the softest setting they are a little more comfortable that the springs. but like i said havent rode em much yet. They are a nice unit for the price tohugh
