Finally once all was installed I wired up the car to a battery and tested all the connections including the headlight harness.

Yes as the fronts are near the headlights. No doghouse on the car and the sub is out.

Got the package tray installed and glued into place as well as the rear belts.  Ignore the bunched up carpet.  It was from my big ass rooting around wrestling with belts.

While on belts I had previously cleaned up the retractor side of the fronts but still needed to clean the clip sides.

I went with my ole tried and true method of cleaning.  Citrus degreaser and a blue scotchbrite pad.  If you decide to do this make sure not to bare down on it while cleaning.  Let the degreaser do the work and just massage it into the material.  Rinse and towel dry and hang up to air dry.

Finished up the trimming the carpet, installed the firewall trim cover, kick panels and seal plates.  I'm pretty happy with the results of the carpet.  Ordered ACC from Speedway Motors for right at $200 with free shipping.  Lays nice and very little needed to be trimmed.  I actually like the fact the dimmer switch grommet wasn't installed as it allowed for a cleaner fit.

Bentley came through with the backup light socket.  Got it cleaned up and installed.  Now both backups work.  Ignore the led light as I didn't have a standard on hand when testing.
