Nope and I went to try and start her up and she wouldn't turn over. So i disconnected the lights and im sending them back. I hooked her up to a battery charger and the battery didn't hold a charge so in the morning it's off to autozone

And I am guessing you fried something, using the e-brake arm as a ground is not the best ground in the world.

Ya kc sent me a whole new kit and I just got a new stereo and speakers so I'm just going to take the kc's down to the place I'm having the stereo done at and getting it over with. Lol and ya I didn't want to drill Into the body or frame.



Some hick at school thought it would be funny to rub mud all over the hood and put some male anatomy on it..... Now it's scratched in I've tried turtle wax scratch remover but no luck I think they're to deep so I was thinking of putting a couple of stick on hood scoops to hide it do you think it will look good

Stick on hood scoops never look good IMO. See if you can buff them out.

Don't do the hood scoops. Unless you are going for the ricer look.
