UPDATE ON PAGE 3


Well, I did it and took the dive.

First I need to thank Lexis11 and RMMGS4 …you guys helped me more than you ever know. Lexis11 backup coming from across the US and RMMGS4 backup coming from 5 hours away!!!
I got the L-tuned shocks and springs and dropped the ride and got
19 inch HP Evo Chrome Staggered Wheels and get this with FREE 19 in tires (A buddy builds cars for SEMA and hooked me up)

Then a Struck a deal with Lexis11 (by the way you the man) to get 2 12” JL W6s.

Then I hit the brakes as work started to eat my free time.

I started up again and got a car computer installed into the car…the problem was I’m using a 7 inch touch screen monitor and our dash doesn’t like things that big…so another buddy stepped up to the plate and built a dash to move the AC control and I love the AC controls at the bottom, when you are driving…the shift **** is a great resting place. I still have my multi purpose ash tray too

A back up camera hooked up to the screen and with a push of the button I can see whats behind me.

Also with a computer I can run the nav, Mp3s and the camera all off the screen and still come in less then buying a head unit. And if I have problems with it, I just fix it at home instead sending it off to the factory.

Also, put in a Clifford RSX 3.5 remote start and all that stuff.

Well as you can see I took some pics of the stereo I’m running a Memphis Belle “the Big Bell” and 3 pairs Diamond Audio D6s for highs separates and the JL W6 12. The Dark pics are of the trunk and the Blue leds.

Enjoy and I’ll try to put pics of the car but its dirty

Default Daytime dash Photos

Well, because some people asked for it...here you go


I will be the first to admitt that the bottom is set at an angle...to get the vaulable inches needed to slam the screen and the ac control in. I think it looks clean for what I asked. I wanted to keep the ash tray and put a screen in the dash that was half an inch too big. In fact our cars are just that....an inch too small all around.

One more inch in the dash and I would have been fine.

One more inch in the trunk and my long a$$ amp would have fit nice and stock on the side of my trunk...but we put a batcap there instead.


THANKS TO ALL MY FOLLOW GS BUDDIES THAT HAVE HELP AND GUIDED ME THROUGH THIS; Neo, RMMGS4, Lexis11, Lxogood , Bluelex, Romonl , and Flippside

I know my car will ever be at the leve of some of the GSs on this site but I love my car just as much as everybody else.

I know it needs a kit, well I'm working on that also and taking a little something out of RMMgs4's page book but it won't happen until after SEMA...my paint guy is doing 3 factory cars for SEMA

Thanks for the great posts
