Clear side markers because orange makes me sad.

Before someone flames me because im rockin clear bulbs its because the ones we got were running SUPER hot and started melting the housing. My bro got me new bulbs but I'm more fond of the leds. And if the county cops don't care I'll keep em this way.

White is sexxxxy.

With fogs on. I'm going to get new fog bulbs that are led so they don't contrast the look so much.

Drls and turn.

My plan is to have all the lights on the front of the car that are white to all match they are 6k if im not mistaken. I might take some heat for this aswell but I plan on hooking up with my brothers friend who is a vw/sub tech to see if we can get all the lights on the car running at the same time. That would be fogs/drls/boomer/headlights.

After installing the amp we went back and put some sound dampening in. We also installed the speakers.

Tweets popped right in the stock hole.

Yanked off all the moisture barrier.

So we tried to be conservative with this stuff not alot was needed to get the job done.

Running the speaker wire through the door boot was the hardest thing we did. Problem is that black tube going into the boot IS APART OF THE BOOT. When you go to do this you'll understand what I mean. So you will have to put a whole in it at the right place.

Got some custom brackets up in this mug.

Sound damp for the trunk when we do the sub install.

Carpet covers this up perfectly.

Tapped panels and all we really needed was this. Will add more later when we do the sub install if need be.

All in all the install wasn't too painful doing it with two people. Now I just need to find someone to help tune the sound once I get the sub installed.

So alot has been done to the car since I last updated. I worked for my dad and made some mad cash to spend on the car.

First up grimmspeed oil cap with a tie down strap to soon follow.

Looks awesome, thank you for the support Steve!

Do you have the specs for the speaker sizes? What amp are you running?

SubaSteve · 10-07-2012, 09:00 PM

Sorry for late response here is what i have.

Amp

Rear speakers
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_091100C...SG.html?tp=102

Front
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_091130A...-130A1-SG.html

Its all really nice on the highs but I still lack the low end which Im picking up a second amp and sub to run that.

phillies5582 · 10-14-2012, 10:43 PM

Thanks for the reply, just so i have it straight?...the dash speakers are 5 1/4", the rears are 4", what are the door size? are these also 5 1/4"?

SubaSteve · 10-21-2012, 09:32 PM

Just installed tweeters in the dash and 5 1/4 in the door. I just pulled the stock speakers out of the dash for now.

UPDATES HOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SubaSteve · 10-21-2012, 10:00 PM

Did the fog light slash fourth brake light mod.

SubaSteve · 10-21-2012, 10:03 PM

Quick oil change at 1k since I drive around 5 miles both ways to work. I usually have to go by months instead of miles.

SubaSteve · 10-21-2012, 10:08 PM

Installed second amp to power mah sub.

Currently building a custom box so I can stash it into one of the corners.

It may not be pretty but for 12 dollars in mdf and everything else being free tis not bad. I plan on wrapping it in something thats around the house.

SubaSteve · 10-21-2012, 10:10 PM

Also bonus claptrap I drew at work whilst the boss was out for the week.

Current plans for the near future:
Perrin shift knob - purchased from forum mate
Rally armor mud guards - At first glance I hated but they are sick after seeing it on a cbs
Hood dampers - My older brother said he was going to get for me. I have the hood up all the time so it would be nice
Whiteline rubber goodies - prices are getting low on this stuff so I'll pick up soon

Far future:
Summer wheels / tires: Most likely TSW Nurbs in bronze
Coilovers: This is up for debate I don't want garbage but 2k for coils is out of the question.
Intake: Perrin
Tune: Most likely going to get a tune at the same time I get my perrin intake.
