I put that seat in the 48, as the split bench. I now remember you saying you did the two drivers seats. Interior looks good.

Our Mission: Connect the black BMW "Safety Box" to the Lexus Inverter
... using the stock OEM connectors as much as possible turns out the BMW connection from it's Safety Box to the orange external plug on the OEM battery box is very modular and I luv that |
