MOAR is right. But with the holidays on us she will probably have to wait. Unless of course I stumble upon another sweet local deal for the stuff I'm looking for.

It's ironic that you say that. The Amuse sides aren't my number one choice right now, but as I looked at the pics I posted I began to ponder what the Amuse sides would look like.

I'm in Fort Worth and I hoping to buy them sometime within the next week or so, if possible. It'd be awesome to have some help seeing as how I would have no idea how to hook it up myself .

It's really cold here too, and I refuse to wear pants. I usually walk back to my dorm around 12-2, when it's like 40 degrees, and one night I was shivering. Cutting my hair really short didn't help either.

Oh man I've installed a system in every vehicle I've owned. I only have time during the weekends, but I'd be glad to help if schedules allow it.

This one. I don't mind the Jeep, but not giving up my Z for one. She wants an SUV type (not a car) and wants a convertible. This is as close as she can get.

Ya that's always a PITA. I guess I haven't done every vehicle I've owned cause I have yet to install audio in the Z.

Everything else is easy as breeze. Just not that part, I'd recommend not even doing it. All other cars going through the wire harness is fairly easy, just not this vehicle.

Damn Jason,

Your creative & industrial skills are way too good. You need to open up a shop or teach a class to college kids on the art of Cars & Intuitive thinking.

You Baller ! go man , go !

So the carpet is one piece!!!!! Seems like I've taken half the effing interior apart, and I can't get the carpet out unless I take the driver's side stuff out too. I've so had it with this stuff already!! The padding under the carpet was dripping with water when I lifted it up. Luckily, it is just the part under the seat and not the whole floorboard area. I have it held up now and have a fan blowing air on it to dry it out. I definitely do not recommend messing with the carpet unless you have to.
Oh yeah, the cushion under the pass seat is soaked as well. FML
