Steering wheel installed. Pretty easy. Going to need airbag adapter or have to splice. You do have to move original cruise control over to new wheel, three screws. All in all simple task.

Well, on the airbag plug I had a brain fart later. Started looking at where the harness actually plugs into the airbag. Went at it with screw driver and popped it out. Popped the other out of new airbag and plugged old harness into new airbag. Worked like a champ. Hope pics below give you an idea at what I did.

So your 2000 air bag is actually plug and play you just have to remove the intermediate connector? (the yellow part?)

Do you know if this is the same installing into the 93 SC?

New tweeter pods are coming together. This wasn't as easy as it looks. Morel MT-23's going behind factory grill cloth.

I'm completely jealous of that steering wheel, it's so clean.

Tweeter pod back in and fixing to go in the car. I like the subtle outline of the Morel grill behind the factory grill cloth. Looks really good in person.

So are you saying it doesn't look good in the picture?? LOL It looks great man.

Your interior is so clean. I bet you haven't driven it in like a month or longer.

Exactly how I like to see audio and overall setups on cars. I really do want to see this beauty in person one day. I would drive to see it lol.

Really nice attention to detail on the tweeters.

Is it really that noticeable of a difference going from the Focal setup, to this?

UZZ,

The Focals I had weren't the upper high end drivers. On that note, I have never really been that big of a Focal fan and have had some of there high dollar tweeters. I am a serious Morel fan though. I had a set of Piccolos I was going to put in the car but I have decided to keep the interior as close to stock as possible. The MT23's sound incredible firing off axis right now and the car isn't even tuned yet. I'm very happy with them right now. They do have 300 Watts each going to them and that does make a difference as far as headroom goes.

Got the dual battery tender installed. Redid my battery connections on second battery as I didn't like the Stinger ones I had on there. Now all I have to do is plug extension cable into 110 outlet at my spare and the car can sit for a while without worrying about batteries. All of this will be hidden behind glassed panels.
