Finally sold the Mazdaspeed3. Dropped my RAM no drill tablet mount in for topomap greatness. And wired my 1500watt inverter with jumper cable clips.

How did you do it? When I found those 2 sets of removable headrest leather seats, in so so condition, for my '00 I used one of the passenger side bottoms as a driver too. Swapped over the seat cover, foam, and that grate that is secured with the hog rings that the springs attach to. Getting the springs on that attach to the grate and frame was a challenge. Zip ties to secure it cause the mounting points for the seat cover to the frame were reversed. Picture of my final product.
What do you think of the tablet mount? I bought a cheesy little vent mount for my iPad to get by. If what I am trying to do with the iPad works out I might invest in a better one. Saw a bunch of different mounts when I Googled Ram no drill tablet mount. Curious as to which one you use.

The nodrill mount I used was the lower cost one with the bendable aluminum bar. I used my vice to make the bends as tight as possible as that's what RAM recommended instead of long swooping bends. I already had the tablet holder from my last Jeep. It's a RAM "tabtite" mount.

I'm a huge fan of RAM mounts. If you look close in the picture you can see my RAM XGrip mount that I use for my cell phone mounted to the dash.

I really like that. I notice it comes in pieces which is confusing me a little.

RAM's stuff tends to be modular so those end pieces come off of the main center body so you can swap them for other end pieces for different devices. The link I posted just gives you the base that goes under your seat bolt, the aluminum rod, and the ram ball at the top, you would need to also purchase what you linked to round it all out.

Correct assuming you have a tablet about the size of my Samsung 10 inch tablet. I'm not sure what you are using tablet wise.
You can go here and "build a mount" so to speak based on what you have. A lot of times it's cheaper to buy the individual items instead of buying the packages.

Got an alignment and mounted my Monroe load adjusting (coil over) shocks in the rear. Instant 1" lift and it took most of the weight off the leafs. So now I have a 3" lift in back and 2" up front. The rake is barely noticeable but I may get some 3" coils anyways. We'll see.
Also let my mechanic weld up my exhaust so I can stop adjusting it every month. I didn't mind paying for this as I know nothing about welding. All in all, a pretty good day.

I have seen some of this stuff before but thought it was more expensive. Like over $100 expensive. Thinking $63 does not seem bad at all.
