The headrest moniter are power acoustik and are 9 in moniters. The are actually premade that way. They look amazing! Anyways the body updates are going to start coming. He is starting on the car tommorow, I really hope that he can be done by thursday. We still have a lot of work to do inside! Also I decided that I need more bumps so I am also installing another amp with an additional 10 inch sub. That all has to be done too. I am trying to have this all done to go to OKC to see paul van dyk on Monday the 15. Though I promise it will look amazing done and completely clean!!!!!!

Well here is another update, cars at the bodyshop. Everything seems to be coming along great, though the car won't be done until next week. Back seat is done, and the center consol so here is the pics of that!
Well here is the car being torn to pieces. There are so many things that have to be disassmbled on this car to paint it correctly. By the way I tried looking but I thought you might want to know how to take off the chrome surround around the windows. The are all rivets. there are multiple access points to pull back the rubber cover that exposes the rivets then they can be removed. Ill take closer pics of that this week. Well here are some more pics!!!

They would generally charge 2500-3000, just because these seats are a total pain in the ***. Though that includes the carbon fiber stuff too.
So here is another update as you can see all the body work is done and the car is preped for primer and paint, minus the side skirts and rear bumper!
Sorry its taking longer than expected but he still takes other jobs while my cars in there cause he is not making any money on my car due to the trade.

Ya you can save them no problem. just drill out the rivets and there are 3 bolts you remove from the inside to rove the large piece behind the rear doors. If you need me too I could possible do a write up!

Well as all projects go this is taking longer than expected, but I know it will be worth it in the end. I took these pics today, and I expect he will begin shooting color tommorow. I am being hope 1st part of next week getting the car back. It will then go back to the interior shop and will get that finished up, and also upgrade the system again. I just need more bass so im adding another 10 and an additional amp. Also why its there I'm putting on the new rotors and getting the brakes up to snuff. Anyways here are a couple more in progess.

Well I guess I can let the cat offically out of the bag. As far as the body goes I'm doing Veilside sides, and rear bumber. Then Rod millen front bumper, grill, and 3 peice spoiler. Little things that I think will be done. I'm going to readjust the exhuast tips for the new bumper, and obviously rework the headlights, they just need some refurbishing.
