Ganyon's 99 GS build thread

Your car is going to look so good

 

[Ganyon]

Thanks. Right now I'm trying to save for ground controls and tires for the 5's. Once the 5's are polished and get tires, I'm going to paint the meshes or polish them and use them as winter wheels.

 

[whitedc4]

Sounds like a plan!

Rear visor is cool. Eyebrow on front is cool.

 

[Ganyon]

I didn't get the eyebrow on the front. The guys put the antenna for my alarm by the rear view mirror.

Looks good, Ganyon!

 

[Ganyon]

Thanks.

Rewired the amp and hid the wires, then washed the car.

The pictures are a little grainy, but the [re]-install and the semi wire-tuck looks good. I love Rockford subs.
Question: Do you have one of those crappy excuses they call a trunk, or is yours actually made out of proper material? Mine is complete junk; I went in to get the spare tire out for a friend and leaned on the wood wrong and snapped it. Now my trunk floor is kind of concaved.

 

[Ganyon]

I took the pics with my phone. Thats why they're grainy, plus taking a pic with the sun in your eyes isnt that smart. Lol. And yeah. The trunk floor is made out of like pressed cardboard. It sucks. I'm thinking of making a new one out of something stronger. Believe it or not I got the sub and box for 50 bucks.

Wow! That's a steal! And so am I. I'm thinking at least plywood, if not something stronger. I've yet to decide how I'm going to fit it, but I'm going to spray over it with Flex Seal like stuff (I don't buy the As Seen on TV products, but I like the concept), then sound deaden the trunk and possibly add carpet to it. If I don't add carpet, I'm also contemplating spraying it with bedliner. I don't know yet. It's all still up in the air.

4 doors don't have carpet in the trunk? If you had a 2 door, I have an extra carpet laying in the closet, but it won't fit a 4 door.

It does, but the previous owner messed it up and now it doesn't stay on the Velcro (??). It just flops around and is all jacked up.

 

[Ganyon]

Hmm. I know the only velcro on mine is to hold it to the panels, but the back seat portion somehow hooks onto them and has push plugs.

The back portion is really confusing. I'm not doing anything to my trunk until I figure out how to resecure that back panel carpeting properly.
