its a start, no??

here she is, with almost 12 miles on her...

 

oh yeah, will be tinted tomorrow..... which means i need to find a new home for the micro xm antenna )heard TI films interfere with the sat reception,)... i have it laying on the speaker deck for now..

 

Nice. Looks great.

 

how much did you pay? what city and state?

 

Just picked up the same car w/o the nav. Congrats.

 

Sweet picture and keep them coming as you mod the car. How much did you pay, I was at the dealer today and they were charging 38k for the same set up and they would not work on the price.

 

thankd for the wellwishes, everyone

since you've requested..........


four days, four mods (lol)

ground kit, (six wire) by good ol insananime (guy)....

he and i developed a similar kit for the fx45, and, i noticed similar results as i did on the coupe... crisp(er) soundsystem , and a bit of butt dyno improvements (not much r&d) on the motor...

actually, after i got the tint done, my micro-xm antenna (size of a book of matches, really!) didnt work AT ALL... its sitting on the speaker deck, for now, and i guess the metal in the tint film blocks the signal... well, after the ground kit, i have reception again..... weird?? anyway, i am mooving this outward this week, when i do the borla system.......

ps- i got them in blue, to match the (future) blue of __________?

 

tinted, 20% all around, with strip.........

 

clear cornered............ (easiest of all, so far!!)

 

de-catted..........


and soon-thereafter, re-catted!

 

Looks great! The brembos really make the car looks awsome

 

Have you put your test pipes on yet??? Did it make a difference in sound? also, where did you get your grounding kit?
