GOOD NEWS! got the ride paid in cash FTW 3K

Got all the extra parts, he kept the amp. It was a "lanzard' brand i think, epic fail he forgot the bass knob lol car drive nice, did 100mph easy.

BAD NEWS! already got pulled over <_< the plates are off my truck, put them on there just to get it home. Cop was pretty cool surprisingly he said just take care of it and dont drive it with a different plate. So its all good :wipes sweat off forehead: :pardon:

The whole story:Details from getting pulled over^^^^: last night i went to chic fil A and met my friends so they could check out the new ride, that was on the way back from chicago hadnt even made it home yet and so we park and cop pulls a few spaces over...he goes inside comes out and leaves parks around the other side of the building and waits for us to leave. we left and who is right behind me, the god damn cop :angry: i get pulled over in the parking and he ask for all the BS and ends up letting me go....but i was thinking out of all the cars he decides to run MY plate to see if its good <_< Sneaky bastard thought he was gonna bust me! NOT TONITE BUDDY :drinks:

And as always gotta get a pic of the cop in the rear view, not really a good pic but u get idea.


Thats the teaser pic til tomorow! :good:

Well here is some video of the new ride before I do any mods. its just how I got it nothing changed.

Had some 5k HID's sitting around so i threw them in, it took me alittle while the damn wiring harness was being a bitch and had to re run on of the wires on there. Its all good now and the light looks white. No halo's tho, the inner ones are the only ones that work so I disconnected them. I wanted either all 4 to turn on or non at all :pardon:

Then went ahead and took off the tinted tailights


Thats it for today tomorow ill prob take out the old amp wires and neon lights from the interior <_< and put in the Pioneer Flip out deck. If I have time might even tint the side windows. My friend from work is coming over for me to tint the windows on his jeep :good: He's buying the tint for my windows too :drinks:

Long day today, got some Mickey D's and back at it again....put the bumper back on, and some new bulbs in the front turn signal lights.

Took out the side windows to tint them up, got them done in 1hr and hey turned out pretty good "almost" perfect.
Heres what i used: tint from parts store, razor blade, plastic squeegee, filtered water with soap in spray bottle.

And here they are all done, putting them in the car tomorow when they are most of the way dry.

Got the plates today and now its legal to drive around :good:

I washed it and cleaned the wheels, posted the wheels on CL and i think i might have them SOLD! $400 some guy is picking them up on Thursday :( SOLD THE SUBS! :yahoo: $60 bucks with the pile of wires lol

The mirrors and the the driver side window switch need to be reaplaced and i think i might of found a parts car at a random ghetto dealership near my house :clapping: went to the honda dealership to see how much it was and they said $270 <_< WTF this guy said $20

After i got the plates i went to Discount and re balanced them...got some new lugs nuts too!



I got the pioneer deck in too!


Heres the 5% tint "So you can see up in mah windows" looks good and came out almost perfect!

And unless u really pay attention u cant tell the difference :rofl:
