I waited until the dealer had done a dozen+ recalls before I bought my car in. It's been a couple months since mine was done and my dash is still rattle free as well.

Center console box between seats needs to come up to allow the shifter trim to clear the e-brake boot without scratching the leather surface. EDIT: Actually, the e-brake boot can come up on its own, but the shifter trim does tuck slightly under the trim in front of the cup holder, so it should come up to be safe.

 

Then the trim on either side of the shifter trim and up the sides of the radio

 

The radio/HVAC unit comes out

 

The lower trim on the dash comes out (above your feet)

 

Glove box comes out

 

I believe the panels at the side of the center stack have to come out but I'm not positive.

 

The A-pillars come out

 

The gauge cluster comes out

 

The cubby/vents comes out

 

The dash comes out

 

 

I did end up with a few minor scratches and a glove box that doesn't latch as easily, but I'm surprising rattle-free.

"Solution to your window fog problem

I just love that car (especially the knarly sound!) and the whole Alex Kelsey story. Gotta love NZ.

Regarding tire pressure effect on gas mileage, I got at least a .5 mpg better with 2-3 psi increase, even when running Cobb OTS economy map. I started running 37 front/35 rear in October or November.

This time of year, I could lose 2 psi just taking the car out of a 35 degree (unheated) garage to the 15 degree outside environment. I added 1 psi this morning as the temp is about 5. I could probably increase it to 40 front/38 rear if it stays below 25 degrees.
