***AIR RIDE SUSPENSION INSTALL AND TRUNK REBUILD***
Finally got all of the air ride installed and working great had to get a high current solenoid thou to make sure that cheap one i got locally wont burn up on the road, works awesome and i dont have to worry about it failing on me. Only thing left to do is hook up my other switches for side to side been kinda lazy about that bu did hook up the wireless so now i can lift and lower the front and back seperately from my keychain (awesome at shows will have a video up soon). Unfortunitly do to lack of space in the trunk I had to re build the entire trunk once again. This time i was able to use the mini box that i had in the trunk as extra air space as the housing for my amps sense it was no longer being used. Came out pretty good i think considering i did it myself like most of the things on the car so dont hate.

Rear Bag assembly complements of Universal air suspensions easy install.
Test fitting the 22s to make sure that 6" lip was going to tuck or if I had to make some modifications to the rear wheel wells. Fit perfect I was honestly amazed at how close these things actually fit inside the fender well.
Once on the ground was taken with the other 3 tires sitting stock so it wasn't laid all the way out it drops so low i cant take a pic until complete because the low profile jacks actually get stuck under it!!
After I got the rear functional and under its own power works great....Cant wait till i get the front done.
****FRONT BAG INSTALL****
Front struts compliments of Easy Street Air Suspensions. These things make the job so much easier.
Out with the Old in with the New.
****AIR RIDE COMPLETE****
Laid out sittin pretty
Had to let people know whats up or down depending how im rollin....
****Trunk ReBuild****
Sense I had no room for everything in the trunk I had to make room and this is what I came up with. The gray air tank for air ride will be painted to match car once done.
With floor installed to cover all the air ride up.
Amps all lit up still have to router the edges and install the plexi glass window and get everything all wrapped up.
Suede finally came in still not done a couple other trim panels have to be done in black so it seperates the phone number panel which i finished but i made them really quick and i want to replace with something else but will do for now and i still have to get the plexiglass installed but here are pics so far I like the 2 tone to match the paint makes it stick out alot nicer now but i still gotta make new panels for the top and raise the main center piece up a bit was a tad off but i was jus trying to get the panels in to hold it together till i get done will the new ones and get them to fit in alot better but still doesnt look to bad considering i did it all myself and im no Pro.
Kind of a bad pic but wrapped the trunk lid in Black suede didnt really wanna do blue jus wanted to keep it kinda clean looking not really to stand out. Still have to mount the other mids on the sides of the amp trim panel but went ahead and added the Soundstream 5.25 Mids to the top of the Trunk lid firing down so there not out in the open in your face but still can here them really well while checking out the TVs in the trunk. Did this in the middle of the night and still have to get everything all cleaned up and stuff it was raining out so id didnt help that much with trying to keep things clean. Also have to go back and put the rest of the button caps in to cover up the screw heads, Thinking about fiberglassing the next piece to make it one solid piece and alot cleaner looking but thats later on.
