Hood came today!
It looked awesome! Well at least it would have looked awesome if I hadn't put a 12" scratch in the top of the hood getting it out of the box.
The box flap had staples in it and I didn't remove them. Then when I tried to slide it out of the box the flap laid down on the hood and scratched it as I pulled it out. I hate myself. Oh well. I think the stripes will cover it, if not I'll get it repainted and get the bottom done too. I'll worry about it later. More than likely this will delay me putting it on though.

On a side note my A47 mirrors look great.....did I already say that? If I did sorry to repeat myself.
I'm still unsure about the vanity plates... I have been getting mixed thoughts about the "NONAME" idea.

Are they Alloy or the matt black?

Oh yeah and Koni STR-T's, and a big brake kit.
OK I think that's it.

Anyone have any suggestions on a smaller SUV that is safe and reliable? My sister really needs a car, and we're not having much luck. Everything I find is either really high mileage or too expensive. Not sure where the best compromise is. My sister really wants a jeep, but as I've seen around here, they're nothing but trouble.

Today I pulled 53 drops. I finished all the speaker wires, half of the cat5e, and about 1/3 of the RG-6.
I've got a full day of it tomorrow.
It will be awesome when its done though. I really should take some pics. After having done this 3 times already, I've really got things figured out now. Every minute detail for every room is thought out. I'll have 2 rooms with 5.1 surround sound. 3 exterior zones of audio with a pair of speakers each. Plus 3 additional interior zones of music with a pair of in ceiling speakers (kitchen, master bed, master bath)
I'm also doing a cctv security cam setup. It'll have a 1TB hard drive for recording and IR cameras. In addition to the regular system.
Then the garage will have its own setup with 2 flat panel TV's and 2 pairs of on wall speakers.
I'm planning on using a Sonos system to ti it all together and gain control via my iphone as a remote.
The there's the remote location of the great room surround system which involves the IR repeater system.
And all of it home runs to two separate structured wiring enclosures. 1 for all RG-6 and the other for all cat5e and speaker. Plus I used a pair of 2" conduits for each enclosure as a raceway to the attic to make it easier to add on or change things around.

Then I pull it out of the box just to see it and thats when I noticed the scratch. It was directly underneath the staple on the flap. Stupid thing is there is a giant piece of paper on the top front of the hood that basically says "Watch out for staples they will damage hood!"

I've been looking, but I'm not sure how many is too many miles. Most are at least above 100k. I found this, but it's a little ways above our price range, and my dad is never willing to try to get them to go lower. 4WD and ABS are pretty much necessary. My other sister's malibu is pretty much a death trap with all the ice and snow.

That is pricey though. Heck if thats true they hold value better than a Mustang GT it seems.

Ya, it sucks. If only my dad had listened earlier. That is about the price of the GT two years ago, so I'd say it's about the same around here.
