    How do I do this?

    That's a great idea I never thought about that. I have never ran new wiring to door speakers. But I can run an amp and sub. Although I need schematics so I know which wires to tap into. Did you have to do this?

    How good is good? I just have a orbital buffer currently. But I have scratch x. Cleaner wax, sealant, meguiars ultimate compound, wheel cleaner, and some other detailer. Would I have to clay bar?

    if you have trouble with installing all it takes is quick google. i did my uncles audi

    google
    '2003 audi s4 DIY audio install" or anything along those lines, every forum will have someone who posts a diy and you can just follow it. gotta love smart phones. once you do one you can mostly do them all though. audio isnt hard at all. hardest part is getting the dashes off.

    I will check tomorrow hopefully at work.
    I will check into this to. One thing I wonder is if my area has road service? I mean all I see them do is drive a truck a guy jumps out fills a pothole and they keep going?
    Actually I know of a great place for this. Minimum wage and my buddy was making 2-300 a night! Only thing is its an hour drive. Might be worth it to I back though and put miles on the yota

    actually you can make good money working in the service industry. I used to make 200 bucks a day working as a bartender. That was making 2.15 per hour plus tips.

    Yeah just like here on tacomaworld. Yeah dashes are a pain. If I do this hopefully no having to pull the whole dash that would be a pain!

    if you dont want to pull a whole dash dont pull an 06+ civic.

    i had a '10 Si, also did a few installs on basic civics. the whole dash has to come off, literally. it's a pain in the rear.

    for a full wash/polish/clay bar/sealant/wax with interior work, you could charge a pretty penny; have to find the right price but if you're good and earn a good name you could charge 100-$150 per/vehicle

    Note to self no Hondas.

    Yes I hated that. I think between guest and co workers I wanted to kill someone 24/7.

    I think I might do this. Although I find clay barring hurts and takes forever. Also what if I screwed someone's paint? And I think the whole process takes 12 hours? Maybe less

    The age old yardwork routine works nice. Get in tight with some elderly folks...do lawns and other odds and ends. You can charge over minimum wage, collect money under the table and avoid giving Uncle Sam so much dinero. Secondly, get an internship in a field you are interested in or will be majoring in. Pay should be decent and you make invaluable contacts.

    doesnt even have to be that much. i make about 35-40 a night and i work 3-4 nights a week. it pays for all my food and gas for the week and it pays for my gas when i take the truck out to the beach. so now i never even spend my pay checks, both of them go straight into the bank now.
