everyone and their dog has a build thread now days. Hope this delivers, because people now think that replacing bulbs with LEDs in "building" something.

well you're always expecting to see something nice and inventive. Then you see 3 pages on taking stock bulbs put and putting in LEDs. It's just a let down that's all

Plus, you have 5 minutes to edit any post. That way, you don't have to start 2 separate ones.

Got the CAI intake in yesterday
http://www.flickr.com/photos/115471755@N07/12138523133/

so far all ive had time to do in the week ive had the car is the CAI intake and i installed a Double din touch screen with nav and a 10" sub.

Coils get here on tuesday.. Wheels are being made as we speak and are expected to be here in towards the middle of FEB.

no need to bash my thread before i even get the chance to start my build.. pretty sure every build thread starts with stock pictures.. if you dont want to look or are on he to bash feel free to just keep scrolling. Did not ask for your negative input.

Let me help with the photos

The way you post pics from Flickr:

Share button at the bottom right of the pic, looks like a frame with an arrow, click that, then on "Grab the HTML/BBCode", then make sure it's on "BBCode" and copy that string of text and paste it here.

Or, you can get the image by itself and copy the image URL and paste it with the insert image box

thank you Undying Dreams
I knew how to do it already it just would not let me do it from my phone at the time. Thank you for not being a douche though. People who act like assholes of forums are why most people never join or never post.

Anyway....

Put my CAI on the other day and here is the picture..

Aggressive specs as stretch. Anxious to see you pull off a good look with those wheels. I've always thought they looked like 80's truck heels with that center cap.
