That is a plaque holder for the founder and signature series.

Right behind it is the ESS (or at least a couple of sheets of metal behind).

The sub port is actually just to the left of the driver on the back wall. The whole sub itself actually sits between the driver compartment and the drivers side rear wheel well.

So if the sub (woofer?) is to the left of the driver, then what's that carbon fibre disc with a horizontal white slot and what looks like a couple of data sockets sitting between the two headrests?

Or is it my other left and that's the plaque holder you're talking about?

Here's me thinking it was driver/passenger headset connectors.

No, I don't really know why either - no one's mentioned them before.

Yeah, color "on the web" is basically broken, which is why you don't want to lock in your colors until you get the physical sample kit.

Random observation:

EP1= Black and so is P1
EP5=Yellow and so is P5
EP2=Red and so is P2 (or was that P3?)

I thought the Founder's Series was like 24 or 25 cars. Are you intending to start the Sig 100 cars at car 10 ?
