Jumping in the deep end.. my VIP BUILD

[XxTheTruth199xX]

so far, so good!! looking nice!

[bmccann101]

Crazy? Oh yes. Big time lol..I'm.out of control w these cars.
yeah I'm.pretty stoked on wheel choice....pics don't capture it well...
Its a pretty legit set up for sure.. gets tons of looks.. and in my hood...ppl have seen it all lol.. so it says a lot.

[bmccann101]

Ordered up some stero goodies, shouold be here in a week or two..
All my intrerior JP stuff should land this week, so that will change it up big time.

Went w dual fibergalss 12 in subwoofer boxes on ea side.. these are super dope.. I never realized the rear seats folded down.. what a nice surprise.





This way i can still keep trunk space and function for snowboard trips or road trips in general.
Have 10ft sq of sound deadening mat as i want ZERO rattles and also why i went w lower piwer subs that will pull only medium power off my amp as well benig 4 ohms total. Just a little bit of low is ok for me.

Threw in some GT Mat free promotional deadener mat today too.. took the tinout of the trunk. we shall see how it handles the 2 12s pushing on it tho.. i cant STAND trunk buzz. )





Will likely buy the MOPAR PARTS trunk lid liner as well so it looks more finished in there.

Just ordered up new trunk struts too.. the hood struts i just replaced appear to have mimiced these trunk ones.. theyre pretty dead too.
ecaronline on ebay sells them for 25 a pair btw.. shipped.. and install was a breeze.

I went w an Alpine MRX V70 5 channel amp ( just a little one) , 2 pairs of Alpine SPR69 speakers and 2 JL Audio 12w1v2-8s.

I dont want ANY ISSUES w alternators dying, Ill surely run a large cap, and good wire as always.. but this is a low key system compared to the Z, which is all PDX, Boston Pros, JL Flat subs, and Alpine Imprint processing.



Question for you guys.. are people still running their amps under a seat in this car?
I know the battery is in the trunk, but thats not what makes the juice when the car is running.. are most ppl still running the power wire thru the firewall and attaching to the Red hub/stud in the engine bay?

What tail lights are those? they look very nice!

[Sodak]

Dangf this is lookin sweet and most people install it down with the battery or make a false wall and install it there.This pic is how i wan't mine when i get around to doing one.

Also it looks like that partial body kit you got is by LIberty Walk.If you didn't already know.

Looks great so Far can't wait to see what's next

[bmccann101]

^^^ ask and ye shall receive lol.

The curtains are what will really make the look.. and yes, the pillow action is just for when i roll out to the car hard park n meets.. lol.

I had to drop all four curtains off my the GFs sister to get her to cut and restich and hem them.. they are too tall ( even the smallest size avail) for a Chrysler 300s tiny windows.. i have to take a huge chunk out, but all the rails are mounted and ready to roll tho:





but here it is so far w yesterdays additions..

JP metal die cut "sticker" on the cf dash piece, looks far better w no flash and in person lol.






Rear c pillar emblems, looks great in person w the flow of the car. Test fitted them flush and low and didnt look right.

I installed these piano black pillar covers on all areas included in the kit...they are pretty sweet tho i must add. FOund them on ebay of all places ( heres the link in case you wanta set.. the guy selling em seems pretty legit..http://www.ebay.com/itm/230690761407...84.m1439.l2649

use some alcohol and clean the living hell out of the stuff before you decide to install them like anything else tho. line em up, and youre done.. pretty simple.. i thought the tickness woudl look weird, but they seem to survive heat very well in fact




JP neck rolls, seat pillows and belt pads




( sorry, appears i chose the crappy shot to upload to PB lol.

I went w a small kinku knot as i like to SEE the road as i drive lol. I dont know how Mikey L. rolls w that giant one in his car.






Anyways, thats it for now... did happen to snap some progress shots of the Z in the shop too.. FMIC is almost done, Mishi Oil cooler is mounted up too.. and my upper plenum came back from the polishers FINALLY lol.








good ol trunk full of parts trick.. matches my GARAGE full of parts now lol.

thank, i bought them w the car.. i actually ahve a set of srt8 oem lights in the garage in OEM finish but they are missing the sockets and harness.

Id really like to smooth the taillights off fully and use DRL led strips ( the kind in an actual housing that has a tiny reflector) as my stop and turns so i can have thm fully smoothed and painted and blended white to match the car.. an old sport truck move.
Just painting them white leaves a horrible black outline of the gap.
oh well, always something for later.

Still not bad for the 3rd week of owning the car lol.
