If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yeah...it's not close the the steering wheel,no need to remove any panels....just have to reach up to the side of the heater box.

a little off topic, but seeing that okibi posted the passenger side of the heaterbox, does anyone know if the na bypass pipe that connects to that triangle hole would fit an nb, i'm not sure if they used the same aircon systems between generations.
