I didn't take pics. But mine's hidden, under the carpet.

Frank,
Can you get some pics and a DIY as to how you hid it ? I have mine right next to the pedal and it is beginning to bother me.

What I did for mine was hide above the gas pedal (top-right). There's a bit of room there, but I had to slice the carpet a bit -- not much, just enough so you fit the SB up in there. You may have to remove some of the foam padding out to make room. When you cut the carpet opening, make sure it's just a slice so that you can close it back up and put the pedal over it when you put it all back together.

I'll take pics and circle the area where my SB is located. Post it in a few ...

Btw, still loving that RPI scoop?

Hell yeah, I took a colleague who drives a 335 for a drive and he was amazed at the way it pulled from 60 into 3 digits in 6th gear.
I feel the car is definitely holding its rpms above 60 so driving is effortless above that.

Good to hear

Here's a pic ... I've noted 2 areas since I can't exactly recall the location. It's one or the other. Once you get in there, you'll know where you have room. Just make sure, where you slice the carpet isn't visible once you put the pedal back in place.



I believe it's "A", just above the pedal, slightly to the right is the final location, but I had to slice around the "B" area to fit it in. It was a struggle to get it up there since I made the opening as small as possible.

mine is tucked into spot B as indicated in the previous pic. I cut the carpet a bit right beside the pedal and jammed the SB in there.
