We need better pics outside of your garage! But car looks fantastic from what I can see.

Love the LC818's. Are you going to roll or shave your fenders? I really want the LC818s but am a bit hesitant on the whole fender modification..

Looks good! Absolutely lovin the shift ****. I definitely want to pick up a titanium shift **** now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like your right rear tire is mounted backwards? Hopefully I'm wrong.

Like to see a side view of the wheels, but from what I can see they look great. Do you know their weight?

I like the front and rear diff. Plus the rims but you do need some outside pics.

Thanks guys, very appreciated. The pillars are vinyl overlays. Look pretty good, a little bit of PITA to install though. As for the ****, I just took a leap of faith and it turned out pretty cool (got it on ebay). I find myself holding it like a standard now, good memories I guess. I'll get some "glamour" shots in the morning, just had a few minutes before work and had to get some pics up...


The "bluetooth audio mod" is just a sprint bluetooth audio receiver I got off ebay for $20, contect it to the ipod cable, or whatever you have (in my case the cheapest thing I could find, ie Grom ipod dock) , and go. Bluetooth audio for Slacker, Pandora, and playlists, connects when you get in and starts playing. No wires, pretty sick if you ask me. Only thing is it looks like Im texting, and a cop was eyeing me messing with it. LOL. Be careful!!!

No, dont use the aux jack. It kills sound quality and you really have to crank the volume. Get any iPod cable. Im not really recommending the GROM unit that I got off ebay, its a little finicky, and I think I will eventually have to replace it.

Buy this and stick it on the ipod cable:

Bluetooth

Add the bluetooth to your ipod touch or iphone. Or whatever phone you got with bluetooth. Play that motha. Easy.
