Just got to put the drivers seat in,

Then tune everything and change the oil, Polish my wheels, detail the wheel bays, wash the car, wax the car then I can finally relax.

Man this ain't been no small project everyone I'm lucky enough to be off for 3 weeks that's the only reason I took this on, but it sounds amazing, I can't wait to find tune everything, I still have to run my iPhone hook up and minor stuff but I have to say I'm really happy with it.
I think I'm gonna make a drink before I put the drivers seat in.

Happy New Year everyone

Thanks everyone for all the comments, I stil have to install the cameras, but I'm taking a few days off to drive the car and enjoy it, I still have till the 16th before I have to go back to work so I figured I deserve a day or two, my plan is to raise the car to do the fluid change and while is up remove the wheels to detail the wheel bays and wheels and check everything out, while its up install and run the cameras leads.
Shouldn't take too long I hope.
I really enjoy the work, it's fun doing this stuff and prior to the stereo upgrade I had never removed a door panel, it's so simple to do, I was kind of dreading it but after the first one I was blown away with how quick and easy it is if you take your time.
Anyway I probably won't do anymore updates unless someone needs me to be specific about anything so thanks for all the support, if I can help anyone down the road hit me up, there are so many members who made this easy for me due to their post.
I appreciate everyone who shared their knowledge in the past and made my task much easier.

Every time I get in the car I love the steering wheel, but I have to admit after seeing how much protection there is in the doors of our cars it opens my eyes, but the steering wheel is not gonna make up for that in most cases, the wheel is your input to the car and there are a lot of great choices out there that beat the stock wheel hands down.
