    135 db Air Horn:
    Wanted a train horn, but did not want to pay a lot for it and did not want to remove my spare for a compressor. So I found this awesome horn from Amazon and the whole setup is under $30.

    Me struggling/trying to figure out how relays work.
    FDC4E56F-1298-4B53-9776-864DE61BD413.jpg
    All the wiring for the relay and where all the cords go.

    Wiring diagram I found for the push switch I got.

    YouTube video I used for the relay wiring.

    The two horns fit nice in the corner with the compressor underneath them.

    Cable management as always.

    I do not have a picture of the interior switch unfortunately.

    :cool:I missed this first time around but grill looks awesome hermano! Glad you took your time on it so that it'd be worth doing. Definitely wouldn't have looked good had you just slammed through it.

    And are you happy with the air horns? They work as well as you were expecting? Price point is nice for sure :D

    the air horns are fun for sure, but they could definitely be louder. At this price point it can't be beat!

    Wheel Accents v2
    7B1772EB-ABA2-4E40-9591-C22734501E97.jpg
    The final project. The old one was ragged and worn out. The problem was that there were parts where dirt and moisture could get between the wheel and the accent.
    6336F941-F885-4CCA-85DC-D548146EE310.jpg
    The original templates for v2, but then I attached 2 of them together for the final product.
    11A39D5D-740D-4958-8761-376CAF26CD5B.jpg
    Double checking the templates with the prototype.
    B77020FA-46A5-49BF-931B-24CCD7E20558.jpg
    Brought the vinyl sheet inside to cut out all the pieces.
    89CE31D2-4DC5-405D-8471-E37D8234A410.jpg
    Another angle of the final product, hopefully these will last longer.
