I am not going wild on the doors fg just the lower half. I need almost 4" of mounting depth to get those powerlines in there. but I am going to rewrap to match the factory look. It is not going to be fun but it should not be that big of a deal. I am sueding the headliner tommorrow. I have already done all the pillars.

Oh I have not stated fabricating yet. The kids and I went to see Shreik the third today so no work was done on the car at all. All I have done is rewrap my pillars in suede and not the grill cloth that I originally did. I did the B and C pillars as well. I ran all my speaker wire and sound deadened the entire car. That took me 2 1/2 days. 3 sets of 11 ga ixos exotica wire down each side plus one down the middle for my center channel. Believe it or not the car is very easy to take apart. I had it completely naked. I have all but the rear deck and back seat back together.

Nice, good job KU, i hate seeing my car like that, i would love to see pics of the install. My install should be done this coming week, hopefully tomorrow. I will send you the pillars and possibly the tweets when i get them in. I think i will go with the DRT26 my system is super loud. As mentioned before, i'm a little concerned with the tunning but i will tackle that down the road.

Man I wish you were closer I would tun that thing for you. I am really starting to hate the electonics in this car. I am temped to send the mask unit off and get a digital output put on it and then I will be so happy.

look what i found KU

anyhow, i wish you were closer too, i will have to figuere out what or how to tune the darn thing. I'm not so sure i will be able to do the time correction but I might take it to some shop so they can use an RTA. The main problem is that since my car wasn't done by the shop i was thinking they will want to rape me.

Oh well, ill see what happens.

Yeah I saw that and I emailed the guy and I almost bought it but western union is how he wanted to do the transaction and I call them and they seemed leary becasue he had a lot of large dollar transactions so I backed out. I thought it was a sign from my wife saying this deal was not cool. She was always the rational one me I am more of an impulse shopper at times. I will contact him again to see if he has it.
