Finally got my windows tinted on Wednesday. Went to a local shop that has done three of my other cars. They had it done in less than an hour. Went with 43% in the front(legal limit here in Utah) and 5% on the back and side windows. Best 200 bucks spent. Will take a few pics after the storm this weekend.
Up to 1200 miles on the odo now, still averaging over 30mpg with all city driving, have yet to take it out for more than a few miles on the interstate. Maybe will run to Idaho this weekend to buy a few powerball tickets just to see the mileage on the open road.

I had a busy day today.
I installed a new gauge cluster lense (scratched the last one)
Installed the black shifter cover from the 2013 models (need to buy the black shift lock cover)
I also washed the car and cleaned the interior too (pic of everything)

my clarion cx501 headunit is a 2011 model and didn't play nice with my 2014 phone's bluetooth, so I went ahead and installed a budget system. Tough part was the cx501 put out more power stock than other double din's out today and had it's microphone integrated into the headunit so I didn't have to have some random mic somewhere.
So I went with
Pioneer x2600BT and decided to integrate the mic into the trim kit.
Added alpine powerpack kt-445u. It's a super small amp that does 45x4 or 90x2. I put it here behind the glove compartment because it made wiring behind the HU neater.
I did mock it up behind the HU and there was plenty of room behind and slightly above the stereo and there was also plenty of room behind and below the HU (sitting behind and right above the power outlet above the cupholders).
And since I was adding power, I threw in some cheap pioneer components ($70 ts-1605c) and cheap pioneer coaxes in the back ($27 ts-g1644r). They're rated at the amp's output and sound great. I didn't get more expensive components or speakers because it would be a snowball effect. "better components? more powerful amp! more powerful amp? new wiring! new wiring? might as well throw in a second amp and sub! second amp and sub? custom fiberglass build! custom fiberglass build? etc etc" happened with me and my rsx lol
