My doors close with a nice soft thump. Sounds very good. But those clips sound off because it sounds like its plastic closing against plastic -- it could be the camera's fault, or because the interior is still empty.

[QUOTE=Metal Maxima]I think Spencer summed it up best: "You're the freaking one-man version of West Coast Customs...on the East Coast!"

wassup Dan... i'm ordering the sound deadening stuff but i'm already installing the sound system today(i don't feel like going to work & i'm curious how loud n clear my components are), so probably when the stuff is in, i'll make that appointment wit' ya.

without question one of the best jobs i have ever seen....looks great bro love the color scheme. any1 who says other than this is amazing, is just a hater....also not sure if u found out where to mount the switch yet but maybe inside the (armrest)console? or maybe have the button where the openings in the dash or for the heated seats. those almost buttons...like if i almost had heated seats there wouldnt be room...lol

MOTYear!

this thread is so motivating to get off my *** and beautify my car, but I am in college, so hopefully somewhere down the road I can get a project like this going and finished in a reasonable amount of time.

Well, I tried a dry mounting, and it destroys the "cleanliness" of the peice, I think I am going to try and find a place to stash the little bugger that will look nice and clean.

I would be more than honored to recieve such a high distinction. I don't know how to get into the MOTM running, I think I need to post pics in the picture forums, so I will wait until everything is done until I post there. Just don't forget to support me, guys.

How about you install your lighting button on the driver side door near like the trunk release button or somewhere around there?

Or how about in the glove box, so when you open that up there is some blue illumination there as well

Or maybe in the armrest, or under the seat?

UPDATE: Alright, guys...got some bad news. I have not been able to do S'HIT on this project since it being raining since Friday morning. This crap is supposed to continue until Wednesday, so I will have to just bide my time during the interim...

Brunoma.

The man, the Legend. He parted out his Max and sold it last year. I think he now drives a G35.

hey! he's mr. eastcoast customs.....f the west coast...haha....just kidding guys on the left coast don't kill me....

And damn straight dan is the man, engineers definitely can handle a plethora of things happening at once....

but this like any other engineering project is always planned to only take a little bit of time but usually ends up taking 15 times the original estimate...aint that right dan?
