          Went to a pick and pull yard yesterday and had a field day. I got around 10-15 little things i needed for about 30 bucks. I was missing some little stuff like the rear ashtray, glove box latch, door lever surround and i grabbed it all. Also was able to replace some stuff with better stuff i pulled like the front roundel, some interior lights. Grabbed some power window switches that are illuminated with arrows unlike the all black ones i had. Also grabbed a rear 325 badge as mine was debadged by po and they did a shitty job removing the adhesive and it looks like shit, maybe putting the badge up will make it look a little better. Also grabbed some pretty much brand new pioneer speakers for 5 bucks each. And my favorite thing i got was a new m sport shift knob, it fits on alot better then my old one and it looks better too. stoked!

          Also I grabbed an OBC for its backlight but its the cheaper obc with only like 6 functions. Do you think it will be easy to swap out the lights?

            The light bar is easy to replace. Just pop out the OBC and it's like a cartridge. The 6 button OBC won't work if you have a 13 button OPC in there present. You need a whole different harness.
