Under the hood you see my Forge 007 diverter valve, red Samco Sport silicone hose and pipe replacements, Carbonio cold air intake, and a few other fun bits.

Here's an interior shot. The install is a long, on-going process. We removed the double-din radio and AC controls and molded in a Kenwood LZ800 touch screen (connected to the Kenwood Nav in the trunk). A Clarion DXZ-855MP took the place of the AC controls. I had to use a heat gun and small block of wood to shape the air vent piping inside the dash. We had to sink it in about 2 inches in order for the radio to clear and sit flush. Now the AC controls had to be relocated.... Using parts from the original center console along with some flexible plywood, fiberglass and body filler, we constructed a new center console to house the AC and eventually a few other buttons and goodies. As you can see it's not finished yet, but it'll get there.
