OK, so like it says I have put a lot of money into her and I have only had her a short time, so I will try to update you with what I have done already before I get to the good stuff....
So the first thing was my stereo out of my old car... Alpine deck Memphis marine 8's in the doors Some MB Quart 6.5's in the rear, no pics... A Rockford Fosgate P3 12 in a custom box And everything was powered by a Earthquake 900 watt 5 channel amp with a Coustic XM3 crossover and 2, 1 farad Stinger caps, sorry for the ****ty pic, the bright blue LED's were messing with my camera... And a bad ass alarm which shall remain nameless, but I will say that it has keyless entry, a 2 way pager, remote start, and remote trunk ... Then a cold air intake... Then the header... Then full custom exhaust... Then TRD quick shift kit and Vincent Doggy arm rest cover, e-brake boot, and shift boot... Then blue gauges and clock... Then a new windshield, but I don't have any pics for that... Then tint... Rear disc conversion (not installed yet)... Then a new deck, the top of the line JVC KW-NX7000BT, it has everything, DVD, SD, HD radio, GPS, Bluetooth and Ipod, and you can program it to say whatever you want... And today we started on the fun stuff! First had to run 0 gauge wire to the back, the old 4 gauge wasn't going to do!!! Then Stinger roadkill sound deadening material all over... We are making a custom fiberglass enclosure to fit in the spare tire well... And it is going to house the new Memphis CM 12, which is the replacement for the Mojo 12... Its on the right, next to a normal sub... And the new Memphis Hybrid amp, the replacement for the big Memphis Belle... I can't wait!! This is top of the line equipment in a car that is done right by a Master Installer at my local car audio shop: Vibez performance and car audio! I will keep updating this as my car gets more and more s**t!!! This post has been edited by ChfNix: Nov 12, 2010 - 12:35 PM -------------------- Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

Ok, so I got some more updates!!
First here is the box with the top being installed... Side view, check out the fiberglass! Before anyone asks, yes it is strong, my installer was jumping up and down on the fiberglass the other day!! Here is the crazy ass port that is 25" long in a box that is only 10" deep with 2.5 cubic feet of airspace!! Next test fitting the sub, notice the second battery on the side!! Next we coated the whole thing inside and out with rubberized undercoating to help with the sound... I mounted a voltage gauge that keeps track of the primary battery, and a bass control knob for the amp in the pocket... Excuse the dust, its been in the car audio shop for almost a week now... So right now I have the amp and sub hooked up with out the secondary battery or the capacitors and I have severe voltage issues!!! This is just temporary to see if the box sounds good, everything will be flush mounted and wrapped in black vinyl to make it look good!! More to come on Monday, along with more parts from fanboy95!! -------------------- Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

Ok, so the only thing I have gotten done was the pieces from Fanboy95, Rims and tires, front and rear Cusco strut braces, JDM tails, Wolfie308 third brake light, and 5th gen mirrors...
First the JDM tails, they are even more sexy in person!! Next the clear third brake light... Here are the rims, not my first choice, but they look better than the stock ones, and I got a good deal!!! And the Cusco front strut brace... More to come shortly, gotta get the mirrors painted, the rear disc conversion installed, and the vinyl flush panels installed in the rear... -------------------- Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

Ok, it's been a while but I got a lot of new stuff to add!
First the blue with white indicators CC unit from pittfirefighter. Then a dragon CC panel from bmj67. So now all my lights are blue: Next was a bunch of leds from superbrightleds.com. Gauge LED: Dome light: Glove box light: Hatch light: Reverse lights: License plate light: Third brake light: Removed amber lens from JDM tails: Sylvania Silverstar signals: Now for the rest of the stereo install. With the yellow top and capacitors hooked up: Now with flush panel wrapped in black vinyl to maintain the "stock" look: I'm really happy with it, all the corners and curves came out good!

I'd like to do LED as well, but I'm not too experienced with electronics so I can't handle a whole lot. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Its not hard, but I honestly don't remember, I got it about a year ago. I know you have to pop the plastic off from the underside of the hatch and remove some bolts or nuts. It's easy! As far as the led its just plug and play!
