I like your CF treatment, might have to give that a try.

Where did you get the cf from?

Hey guys, I figured I would start a build thread as I am addicted to my car. I picked it up in February and have begun with some small mods. Mod list is in my profile page, sorry for all the minor mods, will get to performance and suspension sooner than later!

what are the specs for your amps and subs? and do u have any problems with the factory head unit with those subs? cause i'm having problems with mine and I can't figure out what it is. volume on the subs alone, just cuts down out of nowhere.

Just ordered a roll of the 3M 1080 flex wrap. I'm hoping this stuff will work.

Also having a local shop wrap my roof next week in black vinyl. He said that 3M will not warranty any horizontal surface. Only the sides. He mentioned some type of protective coating that is supposed to make it last longer. I recently saw a new Daytona Charger that had the vinyl roof wrap from the factory so I'm assuming this should hold up for a while. I'm in Wisconsin and our climate changes all the time....-10 below in winter and just 90 last week.

i'll get you the exact specs when im home tomorrow but the amp is a 600watt kicker powering 2 12's that each run at 300 watts. I had to buy a high/low converter for the amp to work with head unit. (about $50)

Did my engine cover yesterday with 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear coat; pumped on the outcome! (sorry about the dirty car)

Red looks really good! Barely noticed it being dirty until you mentioned it! :P

That's the only clean part of the car!

I hear you. I usually spray down the car after every snowfall. That includes foaming the engine bay, under the chassis, wheel/fender well, and a regular car wash. Lol.

Plastidipped my roof today. I really like how it turned out. Should I do anymore on the trunk? I have done the bottom of the spoiler as well.
