    What else do I need?

    I was only curious as to what type of speakers he has, because with regards to install, he hasn't asked about tweeter, or crossover mounting and locations, so therefore i've assumed the speakers he brought, are 6.5 inch coaxials... Knowing how cheap some pioneer coaxials are, they aren't always...

    What else do I need?

    Trimming VT Front Door Pockets

    what brand are these speakers, they look very cheap, if their cheapo's, then their probably no better than the stock ones, and not worth your effort, seriously..Why butcher your ride to get a set of 20 buck speakers in there??

    What else do I need?

    What type of pioneer 6 inch and 6x9's are they?? If their just cheap 6 inch coaxials, and entry level 6x9's, i wouldnt imagine this would be a huge improvemt, if you have a VX berlina../ How many speakers came out in the brelina??

    re-painting bumpers

    I've taken my rear bumper off -VP and i'd like to sand it back and give it a resparay.

Questions,, has anyone had experience...

    rear badge aftermath

    Have you removed all the glue residue completely, and that's whats left behind? or do you still have some residue on there.

    has anyone heard of this before

    I was told by somebody yesterday, that the Auto shifter, can be modified, something to do with the lockouts on it, so you can manually put it back to second, without having to pull the tab, as it would otherwise just move back to third. Does anybody know about this, this guy also told me that...

    Rims for my vp

    I think VT SS wheels are pretty much one of the best suiting wheels for upgrading a VN/VP, 17's, very easy to find these days...and they don't expose your factory brakes either, which is a good thing if your not planning on upgrading them.

    Rims for my vp

    i was gonna start a thread but i'll just use this. I also have a VP,and will be purchasing some wheels very shortly... now i grew up around VN, VP's and back then, (10+yrs ago..) if you had 17's on your VP, they were considered BIG, and anything larger, was reserved strictly for the show scene...

    Rear springs

    I got told by a guy at king springs, that they are marked L/R cause the higher side goes on the drivers side, mine were only standard low though, so this may/may not apply to you..

Seeing as i forked out over $200 for them, i want...
