JDM Business card tray install

[rbpwrd240]

So I bought a JDM K's aero gun metal A/C trim with business card tray and I decided to install it against my better judgment, I read all the installs around and they all involve beating up or drilling into your dash support bar. I didnt like any of these ideas as that bar also provides crash support in the event of a side impact.

So using my better judgment and my ability to reverse engineer I said Fu%k it Ill beat the ever living snot out of the bar till it fits.

So over the course of 24 hours I installed the trim and tray, the following is as much a story as it is an install.

Step 1 Remove A/C trim carefully with flat head screw driver
Step 2 Go ahead and remove the radio and radio trim as well as the climate control
Step 3 Get a big ass hammer
Step 4 start beating the ever living S^&t out of the dash support bar, in the correct areas of course
Step 5 Get a beer you have earned it
Step 6 Continue beating the ever living snot out of that bar
Step 7 Secretly cry after beating the snot out of your hand with a 5 pound ball pien hammer
Step 8 Have a smoke
Step 9 Test fit the New trim and tray
Step 10 Continue beating the crap out of that Fing bar
Step 11 Repeat steps 9 and 10
Step 12 Rejoice it fits
Step 13 re-install all the parts you removed
Step 14 Convince your girl friend to come out into the 110 degree heat to check out your brand new..... Business card holder????? WTF!

Smile proudly with your brand new JDM goodies, I also installed a Nismo S15 front upper strut bar at the same time.:drool:

hmmm makes sense eventho i didnd know you had to move the dash bar a bit...

i think i woulda used a refractory saw since itd be sooner but not cut thru the whole bar just the part thats in the way*

how much did you pay for your card/key slot?

no offence.. but this is fail without pics. this should probably be getting locked due to "stupidity" this seems almost like a joke (not talking shit, just saying i would like to see pics.

woops, I agree fail. I had put pics to come in the post but I guess I deleted that part somewhere in making it.

Either way pics to come tomorrow.:wavey:

Just bend the bar just like nissan does, my bar came with the bar dent already from the factory... So any one know what is the part number for that card holder?
