    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    Yep, that's the plan. I will probably use the bottom of the factory intake box to build off of for a new battery tray. I would really like to get two
    $495 xs d3100 xs-power-d3100
    xs d3100's since I can get them at dealer cost through work but they still aren't cheap.

    I will need a new alt eventually. I will probably just have someone local beef up the stock one. I've talked to a few people online about that but they are around $400.

    Nice, what size did you get?

    Thanks, haha yea it did look like crap when it was stock. I don't mind the 4 banger, I like the better mpg's and I don't care about driving fast so it works for me.

    That's for the valve cover. At higher rpm's it releases pressure that goes back into the stock intake so that the motor can burn up those gases. It was only there from the factory to make the truck run cleaner. I don't care about that though haha.

    With it removed it does help a lot with power at higher rpm's.

    And, no I still don't have any vids of them playing.

    It has an awesome throaty sound around 4 grand. You don't even hear it at all until about 3 though. Which works for me because I like to not hear the motor and I keep it under 2k rpm

    Haha thanks

    I have been painting a few interior pieces, all of them went great and turned out pretty good except for the f'n piece around the floor shifter. I'm so pissed off right now that I am not posting any pictures. I already sprayed it twice and need to spray it again.

    Got some updates.

    Thanks to member billyjoe I got a new lower dash panel to replace the one that I had which had some scratches and also a scar from a soldering iron that happened a while ago.

    This is the original piece.

    [​IMG]

    Pretty much the whole dash had to be removed to get that thing out.

    [​IMG]

    With the new piece installed.

    [​IMG]

    I wrapped the amp racks a while back, just haven't posted any pictures. I don't like the carpet since it doesn't match anything really but I'll probably change it up eventually anyways.

    [​IMG]

    Lastly, I got some used tires for the front. 245/30/22. Compared to the 265/35/22 I gained a lot of room up front, I can turn lock to lock now and don't rub at all. I will probably lower the front another inch here soon since the gap got a little bigger.

    No I don't. I didn't feel like taking the truck out of the garage to get any. It's bugging me a lot that the rear tires are so much larger now. I'm trying to find two more 245/30/22's. I might just end up buying some new ones.
