My main focus is on audio systems, but I did make the exterior a lot more asthetically pleasing, and more engine mods are to come, as is, the engine has nice power in the low and mid range power, so the car really picks up, but it's top speed is something to be desired. Recently purchesed exterior car protectors like car bra to protect custom paint work.
And for a new update: This is what the car used to look like, I had those tails for a while: IT used to be Cherokee Red, and the paint was in pretty bad condition. Also, with the stock bar-bones K24 engine:

Update 3: TO show what the rear bench and carpet looks like in place. The two amps are hidden securely under the front seats.
And then a close-up of my self-fabricated all black grille with a DIY mesh grille insert and mesh "h" backing.

And a few nigh-time shots, sorry my camera is not the best at night-time exposure:
And this is what she looked like after her first wash after the new paint. Had to wait a long time to not damage the clear coats. This is also what the car looks like if there's no dust on it, and the metallic paint looks like different shades of blue in different lighting.
