More blog posts added. Swapped out the audio gear, so the OEM bits (head unit, speakers, amp) are for sale.

OEM speakers and amp look like this, if you were curious...

Thanks,

Looks awesome, man! I may stop by your store tomorrow. I work in sterling. In fact, my father knows of you and he knows the other guy that co-owns (I guess thats what he does) Mach V. Did he use to do wheel repair? I work at craftsman autobody right on lane ct. Very close to underwood lane where you guys used to be located. Looking to see if you fits can hook me up with some frs stuff! Haha

have a link to where you purchased these from? Also did you need to install the LED load resisters to prevent the rapid blinking?

Thanks!!

Mike is my partner in the service department, and is our head technician. He's never done wheel repair.

I pulled them off the shelf in my own shop. See, we're a shop, and sell stuff. For cars. These cars.

To answer your question, yes, I installed a special blinker module that prevents super-fast blinking. It's sold with the kit. Which you can find at our web site.

Hey Dan,

What % of tint is on your car? I have a SWP as well and that looks great.
Thinking of things I can do, while waiting for my car
