Wher did you find color matched vinyl wrap? Or did a shop do it?

Shop looks almost perfect to factory.

2.5 inch level? Do you rub anywhere? Notice any power loss due to bigger tires? Looks very nice!

It's just about there I think it is 6.6 feet to the satalite antenna

It is leveled about 2.2 inches from the coilovers. I rub my mud flaps eversoslightly with the corner of the tire. I think I'm gonna cut a notch out of the plastic in the mud flap. You can deff tell these things are heavy but I have the 3:42 ratio so it's not bad.

In this pic if you look close you can see the rub where it's not dirty

At first I didn't. But noticed some vibrations so I added them. They didn't help. Lol.

I didn't on mine. I didn't see the point. I just cranked really good on the stock ones.

I really haven't had a issue. I went through 3 different phone mounts (mostly crappy vent clips) when I saw another member here with the Panavise and ProClip set up and decided it was the way to go. I am very happy with it.

Got my tint done Thursday.

 

Put on the driver's side assist handle today.

 

Also pulled off the dash bezel and added two Panavise mounts. And pulled the screen out and put a screen protector on while I was in there. Which requires taking 13 gold T15 screws out of the back of the screen assembly - I kept thinking surely they don't all need to come out!!

 

If you decide to take the screen out of its frame for any reason, pay extra attention to the long pins when fitting it back up with the frame piece. The 8 pins has specific holes they need to go into and could easily be bent (see the last few pics)

What brand are those roof racks? I've been looking at different options to carry my Old Town 169 around.

They're Thule bars and the Thule Portage canoe brackets. I can say I'm very happy with these. Going 85-90MPH w/ 30 MPH crosswinds in west TX make the canoe shudder a little, but it doesn't move at all. That's also tied down well though, mind you. Two cam buckle straps and a front/rear ratchet rope.

Ha I'm glad I asked. I notice some minor vibrations when I really stare at mine, and it's good to know that doesn't fix it. A piece of dampening rubber or something under the mount might work, but that also might not fit under the bezel.

my 2014 was simple but i was under the impression the 2016's + were different.

That is incorrect the process is almost identical. Look at these instructions from Hammerhead Bumpers. The link will open or download a PDF.

Installed a new subwoofer and layered some dynamat on the back wall and rear floor. Didn't want to go too crazy and take the front seats and console out so I was only able to mat the exposed areas you see in the picture, and the bottom section of the back wall. Didn't take too many pictures of the process I'm pretty bad with remembering to stop and document.

 

The dynamat definitely made a difference, especially on the highway. Road noise is reduced slightly, but the most noticeable is the exhaust volume. I'd say it took the volume difference between the Corsa and stock down by more than half, possibly even three quarters. I didn't measure the decibels so I can't be scientific, but to my ears it's much more comfortable. I did 1 layer of the dynamat extreme, overlapping and doubling up in some locations, and a triple layer under where the subwoofer sits.

 

Subwoofer sounds great with just a quick adjustment, will tune it further when I have some free time and the weather is nicer. It's a powered enclosure with high level inputs so all I had to do was run a power cable along the doorsill and splice the signal from the factory bose amp output to the factory console subwoofer. Fits almost perfectly in the space shown. Should be interesting the next time I have a female passenger in the middle seat, as all the energy is directed straight up through the cushion.
