After the long wait.. I finally got my FD back. 
I love the '99 spoiler and front lip. They look badass. The only thing is, I have some problems.. first off, my tripmeter clears back to zero every time I cut the car off.. secondly, my interior dome lamps do not come on when opening the door and when I try to push them on.. I was suppose to be getting a new power antena today, but I haven't gotten it yet.. so, I'm hoping it will be coming in on monday.. and I was forced to have the old/broken power antena to be put back in.. my radio worked fine before, with the broken antena.. but now the radio will not come on at all. Those are the only problems I'm aware of now.. I thought maybe I have some bad fuses some where that caused those electrical problems.. but not sure.. plus, I wouldn't even know which fusses to check (for the radio, tripmeter and dome light)--fuse box from the engine bay.. drivers side..etc. Any advice/suggestions?? Oh yea, one more thing.. my keyless entry that was installed on my FD before I bought it sucks *** and I need a new one.. but I'm looking for a keyless entry/security system-car alarm all in one. And maybe with a remote starter too.. does any one know of any brands that have a good all in one package that is good or recommended?? Needing some help.. thanks alot.

It's definetly a fuse, the same exact thing happened to me. Even the beep when the lights are on and the door is open didn't work. That one fuse covers all of those things. I think it was a 20a.

Also make sure that the fuse sits in there correctly. I had to pry the spades out so that the fuse would make full contact. I would be driving and all the sudden my radio would shut off. I guess from hard acceleration and decelerations it wiggled loose
