My Daily driver / Hobby / current money pit. I consider myself a novice. This is actually the first car I’ve ever hooked up. I’ve had a lot of cars and always had a decent sound system and rims but never really put the time and effort into the custom personalization side. Until now that is. This year and a half long project has been interesting and doesn’t seem to have an end. I’ve done the majority of work on my own. All engine bay dress up, mods and painting I did myself. I ran all the wiring for the Audio/Video setup and laid over 150 square feet of Dynomat. All interior / exterior lighting has also been setup and installed by myself. The exhaust, Springs, and Big Break Kit were installed by a local shop. A local paint and body shop painted my Spoiler, Fender flairs, Eyelids, and did the custom job on my CF hood. The head unit and Viper security system w/ Remote start. Were wired by my friend Jason who works for a company called Audiosource.

FUTURE PLANS
I’ve got most of the little stuff done and want to move to the bigger things on the list. First is to do the rear drum to disc conversion then adding Air ride suspension. The Interior will be redone. I like the look of the carbon fiber vinyl and already have a few ideas of which direction to go. I’m also going to do the headliner black. After that it’s a Lambo door kit. I figure this is going to take a few years to accomplish but will be done as time and money allow.
