Thats right, its a Canadian car. We used to live in Edmonton, Alberta, and moved here to Bellevue bout 8 yrs ago. We've made the trip back and fort a few times, and i did it one more time this summer, and watched the odometer hit 290000. The Next one is 300000, and shes still running strong.

Here is a massive crack that i have, which split from chip, from playing my bass to loud. So now, i have to either listen to it quieter with the windows closed, or as loud as before, but with the windows open.

This is the Pilot 4 switch gel-pad controller. This thing works like a charm. It has an inline fuse, so its easy to run a direct line from the battery. I am only using up two of the four inputs, to control my front and rear neons. This thing sure beats any two way switch.

My switches for the fog and back up lights, and my remote bass control, and the gel switch, and my strobe controller under the steering column for the strobes in my headlights. I custom fit it into the air vent under the steering wheel.

My Alpine deck at night, and the 6" cobalt blue neons under the dash, and my changed cigarette lighter color, and air control colors. I hope to change them all to blue.

The 12" cobalt blue neons under the left and right side pockets. The neons that i used were computer neons. There are just the same if not better, because not only are they incredibly cheaper, but they shine brighter, because there is no law constricting how bright a computer can be. Plus computers run 12v, so the neons fit perfectly. I plan on fitting some amps in the pockets under where the neons are and put them behind some smoked Plexiglas. Maybe a 2 channel amp on either side...

Here are my Alpine Type-S components installed in the door. I am very pleased with my work, and how well they turned out, and how much of a difference it makes in sound quality!!
