I do all the labor of course. TuneTime will be doing my tune. Depending on time and energy they may do the e-fans though.

I'm going to wind up doing my car in the spring as well. Too many little rattles here and there and I'm also getting some cutting out that I'm going to have to trace down. Might as well deaden while I'm re-wiring.

How's that Bacardi Gordo?

bacardi is gone.

and yeah deadening is always nice. i found out a huge portion of my rear deck rattles came from the 3rd brake light housing smacking against the rear glass. but no more problem now since i don't have nearly as much bass output from a sealed 12.

Yea, I have thing for White vehicle. No snow yet, but with TC a stabiltrack off it can even be a lil fun in rain. Although sometimes I wish I had 2wd rather than AWD.

Pics look good, fun stuff isnt it? You still gotta seal up them openings.

Umm actually with 3SS package AWD is standard. Took nearly a month to locate this one, 2WD woulda had to be ordered and woulda lost some options. So I took fully loaded AWD.

Yessir, the opening in the doors.
