There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Not sure what your end game is but I hope it's worth the effort...
You have to take the mirrors and windshield off , at this point you remove the wiring harness the goes to the mirrors and head lights from the internal console support, which includes disconnecting the headlight pods. At this point its easier if you remove the console as an assembly. 2 bolts aft under the fuel tank cover and two black bolts forward of the console but aft of the frunk release location. Once this is removed a work bench comes in handy. Now you will need to remove the headlight pods 3 bolts each . Next, you need to remove those 6? plastic push plugs on the console support rail and a bolt dead center that attaches to the headlight bezel, this may require special tools or contortionist skills. Once you have the console support rail free, let it drop the the work surface, and now I believe there are 3 locking clip tabs along the seam of the lower and upper console. Be careful this become flimsy upon separation.
Good luck

Success! Never could have done it without your help, CoolSpyder2014. Thanks again! Had to loosen frunk attachments to get metal support to clear and still had probs with the upper console attachment points. I've attached a pic. You must insert a small screwdriver or pin to release the slip locks attaching the top to the bottom console. Keep in mind this hole is only about 2mm in diameter.

You are very welcome, I forgot about the screwdriver part at that point disassembly went quickly. I took my RS apart to be carbon fiber overlaid. Just a heads up at this point regardless if you need to or not, replace your head light bulbs, it will save you a headache later. Peace
