It's too painful to talk about... What's a little trim here or there? Oh no -- JVC syndrome! (After 6 months, your knob falls off)
Good old caution tape! Hmmm -- these probably go somewhere important... We only had reverse after this!  Fixed later, of course.
Techs fashioned me some armor plating -- big improvement over plastic! Rock damage, thanks to OEM plastic armor. The upper telescoping steering shaft
Clutch slave cylinder.
