You're welcome, Mark.

Now, let me share with you all how it felt to lie upside down on your 
back in front of the front passenger seat, shoulderblades to the floor, 
legs in the air, with your face 1 foot away from the completely 
unscrewed passenger side airbag _blast_plate_, fingers inserted in the 
few inches of gap between the airbag and the inside surface of the inner 
dash, trying to undo the 3 washer nuts securing the coverted Carbon 
Fibre trim piece.

Now make that three times in a row: in my car, Larry's car, my car again...
