bit of an update.

just finished installing this,


also got a 24inch green neon on the parcel shelf thats connected to the sub so it flashes with the music.

and managed to get some VZ exec hubcaps at a cheap price, should arrive next week. dont know why i got them cause i should be getting a set of VZ SV6 wheels at the end of the month, but just incase i dont.

Sounds good man. I have a 2.5" Exhaust with a straight through muffler and a hotdog and it sounds pretty beefy. should look good with ultra lows.
