Here is a little update. I know this might not be for everybody. I'm still working on something for my interior... more to come.

I still have one more big thing I need to finish first. Next year will be the headliner and maybe some interior lighting.

Looks great. I want your wheels. More pics of your air setup! How's the trunk look? You happy with the Airrex management?

You want some agressive wheels 18x10 and 18x11 offsets less than +12? Just say my trunk setup right now is ghetto but I got it running. I love the airrex management but it tooks me weeks to get it running. I've called airrex to get a wiring diagram for dual compressors they didn't have one. My settings were reading the wrong bags. It was a headache but overall I learn to love it. I love the psi reading on the controller and its wireless. I'll get more pics tonight.

Let me rephrase....I like "the idea" of your wheels lol.

I love the Airrex controller. I wish Accuair had something similar. Having the iphone app is nice, but I want to see all the bag pressures because I don't trust the height sensors 100%.

Why did you go with those particular compressors? The Air Zenith OB2 compressors are SO much better than the Viair units. I did a lot of research, and one OB2 compressor arguably moves more air, more efficiently than dual Viair compressors.

btw, my trunk setup is ghetto too, but it works.

Airlift is making a new controller but not sure if its wireless or not. I got the compressors for pretty cheap cant beat 250 for dual 480s. I mean I feel more comfortable now since I ran all my lines inside of the car.

I haven't been to Corvettes at Carlisle-too far away from Kansas City. But I hear outstanding things about the event.

I've seen cars that came from Utah... I guess it ain't that far . You gotta do it once for the experience.

I'm building it for my liking but a lot of people were doing VIP style in the past.. I guess the trend got faded out.

Just the tray tables, curtains and neckpads cost an arm and a leg.

The VIP thing was somewhat popular when the car was in it's prime.

The vip thing has only become more popular. It is now common to see a vip or vip themed car at most large import meets.

And the vip meets themselves has exploded across the united states and across the ocean. Domestics have begun picking up the look as well.

I guess it's never too late to do it but I'm no where near VIP at the moment.

I know it became popular over the years but I guess people that have the 3G aren't into the whole VIP theme but some are. I'm going to try and kick it up a notch.

I was refering to Steve who said VIP used to be pretty popular. In my opinion it has only become more relevant in passing years. The VIP scene is larger than it has ever been.

Is that a good or bad thing?

Here are the pics I took after I put my car back together and had only 2 hours to prep then head to the show.
