The wireing is another pain, if you are going to do this mod, your going to need intestinal fortitude because your pretty much disecting a very expensive vehicle just to run a tiny wire.
For me, I was at a point of no return. So 6 hours later.....

They are pretty much the same.
I am sure this is his first time, so it took 6 hours.
Tommy @ Music box can do it in one hour for the IS F.
Your car is now so much better compare to day 1. haha
I am happy that you like the mirror!!

Damn Sarge looks good, I'm really impressed at the turnaround you gave this car,.. simply amazing. I wanted to thank you for your recomendation on those brake pads as well. I put them on this weekend along with the KW V3's and the breaking is silent, quick, and dustless. Thanks again!

Update 06/02/2012
So today I started installing my new sub box. What a PITA!!! LOL
Here is what Im installing. Its not a complete system, i just wanted more bass.
Zenclosures sub box
2 JL 10W3V2
JL Slash 500x1
Audio Control LC2i
Ill have some pics up in the morning of the install. I placed the amp under the passenger side seat. I placed the LC2i in the trunk next to the ML amp. I tested the wiring, and everything works fine for the exeption of a couple of small issues with the LC2i. Its turning on and off by itself, but I think its because of the way I have it connected to the sub wires coming from the amp. I might also have to run a trigger wire, and bypass the Smart control.
We shall see. Start again in the morning.

Sarge,
Car is beautiful and an inspiration...question...the Zenclosure box how do you like it? Reason I am asking is because I plan on getting this box and I am running a 10w6v2 and just wanted to ensure the sound quality.

Thanks for the compliment Fresh!
Im a repeat custumer with Zenclosures. They made the boxes for several of my cars in the past, and I have had nothing but compliments on the sound and look.
He has 2 diffrent styles for the IS line. I had him custom build one for me using 2 diffrent colors to match the color scheme on the F.
You wont be dissapointed, and the price is incredible.

Curious, how did you install your Lexon lip? Did you take the bumper off or did it in place?
I've had my Lexon CF lip for a year now sitting in the living room and looking to installing it soon.

Those were probably the best mods that changed the look of the car completley. It gave the car a very aggressive posture.
