Parts for sale

http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/...0&ppuser=32238


and the swap was pretty east, just remove the armrest, 3 bolts, 3 screws in center console, it comes forward, then the cage is held in by 4 screws. then just reverse for the new cage.

you should save your hazard relay as a backup or save it for me. mine died on me a while back but i had one in the trunk so i was saved but i'd like to have another one just in case **** happens.

Hmm

I think I paid about 250$ but that included the s4 wheel and airbag

so probly about 175. Only thing I'm still missing is the shifter trim. I'm trying to find one or a manual idont feel like wasting money on the auto shifter trim since the auto will be gone very soon
