Yeah I love the case. It even fits great in the arm despite being a bulky case.

I like that holder and looked at that one. I like the way you mounted on the right side and thought of doing that with my phone arm. But I like having it right by the wheel and on the right was too far away.

Thanks! I agree, but I decided to put it where I did so I could always have a good visual while driving and super easy to move though whatever I wanna do on the phone. :thumbs up:

You can turn it off?

As novel as I find it, it can be annoying on the street especially if you are driving a stick for a long time.

Tell me more please!

5. Cd visor holder turned around to cover warning stickers. I use one right side out for my cd's and the drivers side inside out to just cover warning stickers.

The stickers on the visor should come off. At least the did for on my 07 2 door. I replaced them with other stickers. I will post pictures when I am on my home computer. I might have some on my profile.

1.Start with the engine off and vehicle in PARK (automatic
transmission) or NEUTRAL with clutch out with wheels straight. Apply parking brake.
2. Start the engine.
3. With the engine running, the brake applied, and the
clutch out, rotate the steering wheel 180° counterclockwise
from center.
4. Press ESP OFF switch four times within twenty seconds.
5. Rotate the steering wheel 360° clockwise (180° clockwise
from center).
6. Cycle ignition switch OFF then ON.
7. If the sequence was completed properly, the “ESP/
TCS Indicator Light” will blink several times to confirm
HSA is off.
Steps 1-7 must be completed within 90 seconds to turn off
HSA. Repeat steps 1-7 to re-enable HSA functionality.

The newer ones do not come off.. they are impregnated into the visor plastic somehow...

Thanks!!

I think those are the same steps to permanently turn off ESP, no?

Im not sure why anyone would zip tie there hood down seems like a pain in the ass if you need to get in there...just put a length of hose under there right above the grille that way you can still easily get in without dealin with those zip ties

I've never read a write up on the mod,but I'm pretty sure they use zip ties to take the slack out of the stretched rubber hold down. Not actually tie the hood down. It wouldn't affect opening and closing.
