Cams are on my list of thing. But having four cams total doesn't make the cost go down at all lol.

Going to purchase a few exterior things and then I should be good on the body minus paint

But I found an emblem that I can only seem to find on Blue Oval Industries and I've heard a LOT of bad reviews from them, are they still like that? Think I should be good on buying one thing from them?

How much are the emblems? What kind of bad things have you heard ( bad customer service, damaged parts,etc...)? It they aren't too expensive (<$100) , I'd say take the risk.

Less than $50 and the stuff I heard was parts not being perfect and then horrible customer service. I was maybe going to take risk since its really ain't that much

Power steering kept going out cause of a bad o ring. E brake went out so had to replaced. New handle. Looks pretty nice might not put the polished cover back on.

One thing after another, subs quit working on me and I open the trunk and my amp unscrewed itself from my box and ripped almost off of its wiring out of it. Spent about two hours trying to fix and I come to the conclusion to just give up on any dreams I had of becoming a audio specialist

On a plus side I gave the car a much needed wash. I bought brake caliper paint so I can repaint the fronts and get the ugly no painted rears painted.

I'm also thinking about painting the rear calipers, and rewiring my sub now that she's in the garage for the winter.

Amp is shot:/ on a plus side my order that I placed Wednesday night from American muscles came in. That was so much faster than I expected while working on the car.


Edit: amp was not shot, all the wiring got mixed up and is not fined tuned to hits its hardest.

I would have thought hurricane sandy would have slowed down shipping from AM, since they are on the East Coast.

I'm thinking about upgrading my amp, but then I'm gonna want to upgrade my subs, so I don't know

I don't think ive ever posted anything about my set up but I have two Orion 10s on a 700 watt off brand amp lol. Hits hard enough for me at the time

That's my ghetto hold my subs from sliding everywhere block of wood lo

Edit: that stick is to hold my trunk open because I accidentally shut my trunk with a screw driver in the trunk well thing and it destroyed my driver side hydrolic lift thing.

Ordered a shorty antenna 14" tall and installed it on the car and didn't like it. So I cut my original antenna down to the length I wanted. Picture of the one I bought, than after cutting mine, and the amount I cut from mine. Picture of the new one on the car

Haha ghetto hold, I have 2 10s kicker CVRs, 720watt pioneer amp ( got it really cheap) 10 farad cap, and replace front speakers with some kicker 6x8( I think those are the stock size) and some 6x9 for the rear. I'll post pics when I get a chance.

Is 14" the shortest one you can ? I thought AM had an 8" antenna

AM has the 14" which I bought and the 8" the 14" just looked to short after I installed it. So cut my current one down to the same level as the roof
