Here are all the upgrades I performed last week.
1. I replaced my 3" speakers behind the driver's and passenger's seats with 4" speakers.
2. I painted my brake calipers green.
3. I installed gutter guard in the front end.
4. I will be installing my amp shortly. I just got it today.
5. 6.5" speakers in the kickboard are yet to come.
6. New subwoofer speakers are yet to come.
7. CAI, exhaust, chip, and supercharger are distant.
The speakers were between a 3 to 4 hour job. It took me over 2 hours for the first speaker and a little over 30 minutes for the second one. I used MZ3.net to do the install. Great article!
The brake caliper job was about 5 to 6 hours of work. I applied three coats of paint. Also, I had to let the paint dry for 24 hours so you could say it took a day overall. I hacked off my rear passenger side brake sensor while wire brushing my caliper clean.
I tried to splice it back on, but the wire was cut too closely to the sensor. I'll be buying a new one soon.
The gutter guard was pretty tricky without taking off the bumper. I managed to get some holes in the front end and apply twisty-ties. I know it sounds cheap, but McGuyver wasn't around so I had to think all by myself.
You can't even see the twisty-ties unless you look really closely. I have some touch up paint I'm gonna slap on there to make them even less visible. The gutter guard job was about an hour and a half. Thinking was where I spent most of my time since I had no idea what to do. BEWARE....gutter guard is very sharp!
I'm going to use MZ3.net to install the amp. I hope it fits where the old amp is right now. If not, I will have to think again.
I'll try to do the job without twisty-ties this time!
I'll post some pictures once I get them.
