I've seen that.
There will be holes in the TP lid that you'll have to do something with.
Looks good though. The arm rest one looks weird w/o the speaker

Stupid related topics thing screws everyone over.

Since the topic was brought up I'll add to it and at least give it some value. Yes and I did just that. Makes is look more sleek imo.

It happens all the time, like Bunk said it's that "related topics" feature. At least someone may benefit from the replies.

I did the same thing as Bunk. I installed the chopped backrest and put round head bolts in the holes and then rattle canned the tour pak. Came out pretty good.

And that has to be an HDF record for the longest time to get a question answered!
