O, Your drop is F'n sweeet! I'd like to get that low, but I already scrape on speed bumps.
I suggested to Dave that he, U, Aaron, & I should get together for a photo shoot.
I have a few more mods to do, then it will B ready.

The rear chrome type-s trim is not sold separetely from the dealer you have to buy the whole plate asembly in order to get that chrome strip. I was lucky enought to find a used one at a good price.

Just Dew it! you could always find alternative roads to drive through.

Yeah Mike, we should all get together soon before it stars getting cold out for that photo shoot. Can't wait to see what you have in store..... let me guess, new wheels?

Might be a good idea, if I'm not busy that weekend. It's easy for you guys to get to Dave's house since you guys live a lot closer to him than me.

Thanx for the compliment Aaron, maybe we can trade wheels for a few minutes to get some pics.

Thanx bro, well it was kind of a funny story how i ended up cutting the rear tabs to get the wheels to fit. I had originally made an appointment at my local shop to get my fenders rolled. The day of i arrived 10 minutes late and the d-bag guy tells me that since i didn't arrive on time i would have to rechedule to the following week because he was extemely booked.

I thought that was a bunch on B.S. so i just decided to get the old dremel out and cut the rear tabs. You should be ok with just getting your fenders rolled i just cut them since i didn't wanna wait an extra week to get my wheels on.

Thanx, I might just do that, ever since i got rid of my spare tire it seems like the rear raised up.

Thank you Sir, but the journey is not even half way done.



Well guy's i have a mini update. I was able to upgrate my navigation drive to the 07-08. It seems like it loads up a lot faster than my old one and i love the color scheme it has for the radio display.

Also took the oportunity to remove the front seats to do a deep carpet cleaning. Pics were taken before the carpet cleaning.

Fairly easy just 4 14mm bolts on each side, also one extra bolts on the passengers side that holds the seat belt to the seat.
You'll be surprised what you'll find under there. I found about $7 In pure change.

I have a family member that has a professional carpet cleaning machine. He let me use it, and added some sort of "cleaner" to the machine not sure what it's called. It works wonders tho.

I think if you use resolve, a rag, and some elbow grease it should work pretty well on your carpet.

Here's a pic after the cleaning.

Thanx.
I actually changed the whole dvd drive to the 07-08 model. I love it, and it loads up a lot quicker than my old one.

You should start a progress thread. It's always nice to look back and see how far you have come.

The drive alone i've seen them for around $500-$700 used. Also dont forget the 07-08 screen since the 04-06 screen is not fully touch calibrated to the 07-08 navi drive.
