Thanks Henry, Yeah I really like the size of the lip too. Now it's time to redo my calipers and maybe match them to the car color.

Thanks Ryan, how is the new sound in your car? That was a clean install that you and your dad did. Do you have any sound clips? I want to improve the sound of my car. Do you have the ML in yours also?

Thanks Chris, not sure maybe doing some interior work. I think minor stuff from here on out (lol). You still have the car?

ron - i do have the ML, but i felt it was lacking at higher volume. i have 'finished' the install, but am still missing an integral piece - JBL ms8. pretty bad *** processor; should bring the SQ up to where i want it. i have the boston pro surrounds meshed with the g5 12's all installed, so it's just tweaking things the way i want it. the ML amp puts out some screwy crossover points and it really emphasizes lower mid frequencies too much for me, especially in the aftermarket speakers. since the ML speakers were designed in tandem with the amp, my bostons actually don't sound as nice right now, not even as good as the stock ML. hence the MS8. that will bring things around. i had this setup previously in my 4 runner, and it absolutely destroyed SQL and SPL. if you are knowledgeable enough to do the install yourself (wireing harness work and all), go for it. it is well worth the end result IMO, if you do it right. if you don't, you are better off leaving be and just adding in an aftermarket sub. i think it would cost way too much to have a shop do a conversion, once you add up all of the labor and what not. GL. she's looking quite nice man!
