Love the car, hate the steering wheel cover. Why do you have a cover on a leather steering wheel cover? IMO, it looks tacky.

Not feelin the steering wheel cover, but I like those pedal covers. You should get the bowling ball trim steering wheel.

Am I the only one who can receive only one picture? The rest of them are just boxes with a red X. And I have a cable modem hookup.

Car looks good. So, what kind of tweeters are those? Looks pretty big? Did you get components or just tweeters?

ummm i stand corrected then....

but it's really hard to understand. i can understand why crzy's car doesnt' have rake look coz' the system in the truck is heavy enough to push down the rear, but if dragon doesn't have a system thenwhy his car doesn't have any rake look at all? @_@ i have looked at my car many times (and also pics) and i just have that rake look all the time.

i wonder what's the estimated weight of a system at the back.

Depends on how many amps. With two amps, two 12 inch subs, and a box, I would say maybe 50-60 pounds.

Yeah..the sound system will make the rear go down. The Comptech's are really soft. But if TypeSDragon doesn't have a system.then.. mine is just....ehhh...too low already...i dunno why!

wow only 60 pounds in the trunk does that kind of extra drop? wow... today i had 5 people in my car and it still looked ok. guess the stuff in the trunk has more effect on the car

Hey Ben, the tweeters are Pioneer TST110 tweeters. The actual tweeters are not big at all, but we use bigger ring around the tweeters. It is a little mod, but it makes the car sound much louder and clearer.

These springs are comptech. I am not sure why some people have the "raked" look, but I don't have a system in there. Empty trunk actually. It looks even to me. Oh the springs were install by Park Ave by the way.

Tweeters = $40
Labor = 0 (BigMonkey and I did all the installation! You will need to know some wiring, I believe you need to wire the tweeters to your stock speakers.)
