Haha, yes there would have been an excessive amount of cursing involved in a collision with a deer.

So I got almost done with the second side, but had to put the lenses back on early due to the weather forcast calling for rain. But here's how they sit now.

The left side has the stock reflector cut and reinstalled along with the shroud. The right doesn't have those two on yet.




Here's the amber parking lights and how the leds will look once I get the replacement drivers from TRS.




Here you can see the drivers side needs to come up a little still.




And some random colorband shots and a couple vids.




Don't worry, the car was on an incline on this one.




Click on these two for vids.




And just a couple more random pics.

Well as it turns out, I put the bad driver on the led ring in that last pic. Here's how it's supposed to look.

Sorry for the crappy pics, but my camera is about 7yrs old now.




With the parking lights.




And a couple daytime pics.

Ugh, get me off the Rockford site. I keep thinking I just want a cheaper sub for now, but then, why should I buy more than one? I'm thinking, if I can come up with the $$, I want to go with a Power T2 15" 2ohm DVC. But then I'd need a matching amp. So I'd want a Power T1500-1bdCP, and it's even the exact same size as my other amp, so my OCD would be satiated. Like I said, we'll see how it goes. If I am able to do it, it would probably take a couple of months to get it all together.

im liking the rims but the stance is much like the cavaliers, too high and looks best with a slight drop. cool stereo build and hid, really upgrades the front end. If I know anything its stereo builds NEVER end lol. New speakers, need better amp, better amp, need better wiring and so on.

Yeah I need moar low for sure, but we'll see if I ever get around to it. I have great ambition, but I am usually lacking in execution.

So I finally got the new drivers from TRS so I finished up the retro.


The first leds installed on Sasha.








And the fixed output.


The bulb seating could still use a little adjusting but it's good enough for me.
