RE: FINALLY more upgades on the way
It's installed!
The only thing I had an issue with was blunt drill bits!
Once I got me a new 5/16 drill bit, it was basically plain sailing.
FYI you're going to get into a false sense of security when drilling from front to back of the car (it' only maybe 1/8" steel) BUT when drilling from inside towards outside of the car, it's more like 3/8" you have to go through.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD SHARP 5/16" DRILLBIT AVAILABLE (the newer the better)
Will post pics tomorrow (it's dark now and black cars don't show up very well in the dark)
Valentine1 hardwire gets installed tomorrow am (weather permitting)

That looks so good! I had to laugh a little seeing the tiny bit of microfiber towel inbetween the passenger seat and console....that's where I stash one too 
(though mine gets shoved more under the seat to hide it...I'm sure yours does too)
