ap81590's Elite Registry



As you can see, I installed a Westin Safari Bar and some Hella 500 Fogs. Heres a better picture:


That pretty much covers the exterior, on the interior I have a Pioneer Premier DEH-P650:

I had to bypass the amp for this to work, took a lot of time and aggrivation. You can't see them but I have Pioneer 4-way 6x8s in all the doors.

And onto my most recent/most time consuming project so far. I got these leather covers from expo5.0s 1996, took the seats out, took my ugly cloth off and slid the leathers on. Sounds much easier than it is. It took about 2 hours a seat at least. Pics:



Hope you like it, tell me what you think......

Wow, that would be cool, these are getting fairly rare. There are usually one or two on eBay at a time. I'll post more pics tomorrow when I actually have it.

Thanks ions. The sub is sitting in my room, currently my funds have been shifted towards the GT. I know exactley what amp and wires and box I'm going to get, just gotta wait for a good time to do it.
