Very nice. I like how well kept your floormats are, but at only 10K miles that's to be expected.
So, how long did the whole job take? Did you run into any problems other than not finding the VSS?

There are threads on the electronics forum that discuss the location of the VSS wire. Basically, its on the passenger side (right side) kick panel. There's a ton of wires behind the speakers, and the wire your looking for is plugged in some little blue box/cube. Let me know if you can't find the answer and I'll help you further.
