Ugh, the kick panel thing is tough to judge. On the one hand, it's going to be a great car and you hate to spend the next however long staring at something you wish was better. On the other hand, you might want to set it in place under the dashboard and figure out if the imperfections are something you can actually see. If you can't see it, you may not want to fix it. In the end, it's your decision. The angle of the lighting and camera in that pic are positions you simply can't achieve in the car, no matter how you try.
Cars are meant to be driven.

I'd redo it. When you know something is wrong, it'll keep bothering you like a small stone in your shoe.

Nothing better than a cruise with the top down.

Took the week off work to get as much as I can done.
Finished out the rear light harness and fuel pump cover, figured out as much AC routing as I could until the fittings get here, finally got to wiring some of the fun stuff today. Radio works and it’s technically street legal so I drove to fill up.
Having to order odds and ends for details I can finally focus on and I’d like to drop the front about another inch.

Stereo in. It’s been years since I’ve had the opportunity to build an aftermarket system. I had forgotten what it’s all about. All Focal drivers, 6.5” in the kick panels and tweeters in the pillars. Sub will be between the top well and a close out panel.
Still have some harness routing and clean up to do.
Also upgrading my fuel vapor system with a check valve and vent filter. 1st time at over a half tank of gas overwhelmed my carbon canister. If that doesn’t do it I can take one more step with a purge valve.
