    I just put my visor back on also, it's like an annual thing to change the tape now. Almost lost it earlier this year when the winds were going crazy a few months ago.

    No install yet due to it possibly raining all this week except thurs. Hopefully then. And Drone hopefully I can get more than a year, cause it was a pain to remove it last time with original tape lol

    Tonight I will be plastic dipping the front grille because painting didn't work!

    did you sand it up before painting? otherwise no, the paint wont stick to the surface and will just "wipe" off

    I sanded the whole surface, if the plastic dip doesn't work it will be going to the body shop for a professional sanding and painting (Tuesday, $75.00).

    Ok, so the third coated just finish drying. The grille is on the car and it looks sick. I will post a picture in the morning so everyone can see. I am debating about painting the badge and the original chrome strip red.

    I fired her up after, I still need to take her out for a spin. I was waiting for the grille to be done.

    I've gotten so I'd rather dip than paint when a matte finish is needed. Seems like no matter how careful I am with paint, 8 times out of 10 its a screw up. But dip hasn't failed me yet.

    I don't know about these exact speakers but a friend of mine has some jbl's and they are ok...nothing fantastic and as long as you don't go super loud they are decent. No audio competition grade stuff but ok if you're just looking for noise lol

    I've got a full mb quart system (4) tweeters, (2) 6.5" (in rear deck), (2) 6.5" in front doors, and (2) 4" kick well speakers with crossovers all around that do damn well (if you have subs for the bass) and I would def recommend them.

    Polk also has some pretty good stuff for fairly cheap. I'd go Fosgate all the way if you want top notch (but then again I am a huge Fosgate fan)

    These speakers are awesome, my neighbors hate me now. I got them on Ebay, saved a bunch because best buy and Amazon wanted a lot more.

    It sounds good, it doesn't sound all riced out. It does increase the get up and go.

    ^nice
    My front tires were looking low, checked them and only had 25psi, filled them up. Checked rears even though they looked fine, they were also 25psi, filled them up too.

    Had to deal with this mess of shit to try and hang my clutch pedal...still ain't done yet



    And what is this thing? Little wire cable that mounts up with the brake pedal...the pedal I got didn't have it so I just cut mine down instead

    Thats your "Press brake to shift out of park" lockout cable. Not needed anymore its trash now.

    Also that's perhaps the unsafest firewall access I've ever seen. Did you poke through with a rock and chisel?

    You need to drill through that with a big ass unibit immediately, majore short waiting to happen with that power cable going through.
