Sorry don't know took it to a local car stereo shop, he charged me $300 for labor to install sub-box and Amp. To factory stereo (have the basic pioneer system) also installed dynomat to the trunk. Sounds 100 times better.

Lowering it filled in the fender wells which is what I was going for. The ride is a little bit stiffer but it’s still not bad at all. Getting some 19” Aftermarket wheels and tires next week.

This thread makes me think of my Dad. We used to get in big arguments about modifying cars. I'd put on an exhaust system, change the wheels, tweak the interior, etc., and he'd tell me how stupid it looked. He just couldn't understand why I thought I could improve a car designed and built buy engineers that were really smart, did all the research, knew what they were doing, and built millions of them. My counter was that they designed and built cars with different priorities in mind. Gas mileage, smooth rides, safety, etc., with a huge emphasis on keeping down the cost to manufacture them. An entire series of compromises to the things I liked, and secondary (at best) to performance, cool factor, and appearance. This argument lasted YEARS.

Now I have opinions that are far closer to what my dad's were than what mine were, and all I can do is laugh at myself for being a hypocrite. At least I understand that others think these mods improve some aspect of their car. Sometimes I agree, and sometimes I don't, but it still makes me smile.

How do you remove the roof drip rail molding? Doing a black top as well but I don’t want to take it off the wrong way and break something. Thx
