Didn't mean to imply that I made it ...just admiring all the dimple die work I see these days :) Some friends asked me "what are you going to make with them?" My answer was "whatever I want!"

Thanks Rick. I've been following alon on your build also. It's cool to see you driving and enjoying it as you continue to finish it up. Looking forward to seeing the final version.

So far so good. I'll take some more pictures as I go. For the cost, I think it will be hard to beat.

Pauls Chrome Plating out of PA, http://www.paulschrome.com/. It was pricey, but it's nice. Do your roof spears still have the rubber pieces underneath them? What shape are they in?

I know what you mean. I paid $300 for my 3 years ago and it wasn't on sale....

My Speartech harness showed up yesterday, so now I don't have an excuse about getting busy on the wiring......

I've done several of their kits. Preparation and good notes are the key, ;).

After many hours of polishing and a ton of $$$$ on rechroming, I finally bolted the rack on. I really think it sets it off, :D. I'll try to get some pictures outside in the next few days.

The Speartech harness runs the fuel injection and the transmission. The Accuair does have it's own harness as well, but not quite as complicated. It's a wiring lover's dream, :D.

List of wiring projects:

Body harness
Fuel injection
Air management system
Heated seats
Autometer gauges
Dual electric fans
Cruise control
Intermittent wipers
Alarm system
A/C
Stereo.....:uhmk:

Man that Sub is sweeet! Where did you get the pass. side inlet/outlet rad from? Whats your take on Speartech so far? I cant make up my mind between Speartech or Current Performance.
