In order the switches are 1 sub amp, 2 midrange amp, 3 tweeter amp, 4 midbass amp, 5 kenwood video bypass

and the visible knob is my bass knob, the hidden knob is for my alternator regulator.

I believe I see the other knob under the steering wheel.

And where is the Flux capacitor located? And how do you toggle on the motion detected front mounted lazer cannons?

to be honest i'm not actually sure which blue it is lol. i was originally told that it was laser blue metallic then i was told it was arrival so i'm not sure anymore lol. all i know is the guy who paints it matches it for me. my engine bay pieces are painted the same color.

if its a darker navy like and changes color in the light (will look purple at times) its laser blue (also laser is expensive... i paid $78 for a pint) arrival blue is much closer to a "royal" blue and matches any of the blue leather SS seats

Question on the dash vents. Do I have to remove the dash cover to paint the vents? Or can I just pry them out with a tool?

oh I thought he was talking about the ones on the corner of the dash, not the ones in front of the drivers face.

My buddy has some carbon fiber overlay's that he put on his vent pieces. Actually looks pretty nice. Bought the on ebay I think
