You can search out the alarm troubles and water problems in the search bar.
Here's a video on how to remove the cowl:

Thanks,
I'm assuming it was from the past, I drove through the rain when I drove the car home and checked since it rained the other night and see no moisture. All the same, since I dont know the history of the car I'll be doing that this weekend.
I ended up replacing the fog lights, and climate control module over the weekend as well as buffing and cleaning the headlights that were really cloudy, replaced 2 blown door tweeters and the blown rear speakers with similar replacements.
There's also significant cracking in the driver side dash, made worse by me trying to replace the driver side vent and finding out much of the dash and light switch is held in place with some kind of putty or gasket maker. so I ordered a good condition full upper and lower dash kit and a good condition light switch.
Also ordered a good amount of gofast parts from needswings. Dual CAI, catch can, intake manifolds & crossover, supercooler & Intercooler isolation kit. The previous owner seems to have gotten a polish upper supercharger pulley & tune from EuroCharged.
The only other thing I can think of doing in the future is replacing the stock amp but will need to look into it. It's been several years since I replaced any amps. I'm assuming I'd go with RCAs to the amp, (maybe run dedicated wiring to the door tweeters off the HU?) and then have to run new wires to all 4 speakers.
I tried replacing the stock amp with anither infinity off of ebay over the weekend but the amp was bad, kept popping the fuse. I kept thinking it was a wiring fault since 2 of the wires were cut and then at a later point spliced back in and soldered back into the connector, but then after using the original amp, everything worked fine. Went through probably 12 fuses. Now I have a 15a manual reset circuit breaker in that fuse slot lol.
