thanks for the compliments...I'm going to do my rear seats in two tone black/silver right now I have no other "big plans" just keeping it maintained and getting ready for this year's car show season......by redoing my trunk setup this was my biggest plans for this year already under my belt we'll see what the year brings me in new ideas at shows...I have 37 trophies so far and hopefully I will continue to be successful at car shows and having fun modding my Maxima...this site keeps me going in new ideas to be different and try new things so to stand out..

yeah this is true more of us into modding cars are doing different things which makes for more originality and personalizing our rides..."thinking outside the box"...if you are the "only" one that has done a certain mod then good you are in a class by yourself...but if others like it they will do the mod in their own way but you can say you "had it 1st"...like my Mitsubishi Galant GTZ wing...we come here to see others rides and discuss and learn and get new ideas on modding our cars to be different and fit our style or personality...

car's hot. mirrors, also IMO, are prolly one of the oddest things i've ever seen. and by odd i mean it don't fit....yeah i'm glad to know that it's doable but....

you can drive with your feet if you want to....it don't make it a good idea.

yeah driving w/your feet or holding the steering wheel with you knee while doing other things is not a good idea...but people do it all the time like talking on cell phones while driving...

Went to a school in Swainsboro with a guy who drove with his feet all the time. Then again, he had no arms so it was expected, I guess.

Will, time for some LED tails.

Glad to see it turned out as hoped...from the time you showed it over at Altimas.net I was inspired to learn and am going to do some small projects to begin with...I finished my PG Ti10 ported enclosure and realized I miss my 12, or may do a sealed 15 so back to work for me again...

BTW, you said you only resined over the fleece on the outside?? No cloth or matte on top at all on the outside of the enclosure? Everything I've read shows using the cloth/matte inside AND outside....But if it isn't completely necessary, that would be even better...!
