Nice and clean looking dash!

I thought about it, but decided to leave the air bag in even though it's not functional. I wouldn't use the pocket and I like the looks without it better too.
I took the original dash' s harness out and placed it in the new dash. I washed all the duct work out when I did that as well.
Oh, and my wife's car is a subaru legacy. The 454 in my truck has loads of room to work compared to that for sure!

Gotcha, I can understand the aesthetic preference. It isn't as useful as it could be but I do like the pocket in mine.
