I ordered up a Panavise car mount (part #75102-196) and Dice DCR-50 for my iPhone integration from Enfig and they arrived today. I'm a little disappointed I won't be able to use my hard exterior case with the mount, but I'll make due until I find a solution.

I like how they have the dock connector on the back, it should make for a clean install when I get a Dice connector kit.

Heres some pictures before I install it.

Haha whoops, I installed the cradle backwards in the pictures above. Just got it installed. Like everything else, it was more hassle than I predicted. I had to file down the right sound of my radio surround and do some "forceful maneuvering" to get the mount seated.

So far I'm happy with how it turned out, we'll see after driving with it for awhile.

Got the LED license plate lights installed last night. The picture makes them look a bit brighter than they really are.

When I had the turbo oil feed line replaced I went ahead and replaced the motor mounts with HD mounts and had them put in a Neuspeed snub mount. The throttle definitely feels more responsive now.
