Man, the wiring is a damn nightmare in your car. Whatever shop did the work before...the work they did is beyond words lol. They freaking mounted the amp in the passenger side foot well. The AV control module for the headunit is mounted under the drivers seat. The lighting wires go every direction in the car. There is so little room to work with after the hack job they did. We had to get a little creative in wiring in the air ride and tucking stuff away lol. All is working well now, and I took the car up and down the street to make sure everything is running properly. I'll try to get some videos and better pix posted up very soon.

I saw the car week before last right as the air suspension was being put on and jeff was beating rusty bolts into submission haha. Your deff gonna need some bigger rims/tires the skinny tires you have now wont hold the power. Cant wait to see it all finished should be pretty nice.

Yea coming from up North the bolts are supposed to be rusted even if the car is garaged kept.

Yea I know, what size would you recommend ?

I got a good idea from Jeff +10 diameter.

I am looking into AME or some VIP rims in that size also.

Wondering if you had a day in mind...

Jeff will hopefully be receiving the HID brackets for the retro soon.

I think the car will be done in a couple of more days.
