A few folders of pix - but I'm only posting the stuff that show my own "mods" and installs. After all, don't all the Sunlight Silver Metallic P5s look the same?

So there's a few of my current sub (yuck), some of my self-done pinstriping (*hiho breaks arm patting himself on back*), air horn install, and hose work.

More to come as more gets done - but no glamour shots of the same old crap (you know - park it and shoot it - we all know what the car looks like) - only my own unique touches, I promise.

Enjoy (or don't - whatever )

BTW - the Cherokee is my lady's ride. Not bad (for a truck )

lookin good so far. what are you plans for the near future? i just don't get why everyone is going with red! ;D but it does look really good. keep up the good work.

hihoslva

Well, with the strut bar being red - I just think red goes well. And thanks for the compliments.

Future plans.....hmmm.....what AREN'T my plans?

But seriously - next is a custom sub enclosure for the passenger side of the hatch holding a 10" JBL sub and 2 Rockford Fosgate amps. I'll start building it probably next weekend.

Painting the calipers soon - and I will be be painting the interior "champagne" pieces a nice bright silver - along with a few other parts inside. Oh yeah, tint also (hopefully before the summer) - probably 35% reflective metallic all around.

Weatherflectors (the window-shade things - but WeatherFlectors are the snap-in style - no tape. Coming out in mid April, last I heard) and an AEM shorty intake.

And if the money is there, black and silver leather seats.

But the sub enclosure is next - my amps & sub are coming Monday, so then I can get bangin'.

*sings* If I had a million dollars.....

sounds good! I've got 35% "cool chrome" on my ride right now. really reflective when the windows are clean during the day. and at night, looks black. i've also got the rain guards on mine. i think they add some flavor to it. although, some people (i wont mention any names *Wil*) think they don't look good. lol. anyway, sounds like you got somethin goin there, can't wait to see some more pictures.

hihoslva

Well, I want the rain guards for functionality - umm.....smoker here.

Plus I like the windows open a crack without getting rained on.

Ventshade already has a 4-door P5 kit, but I'm waiting for Weatherflectors because I don't want the tape-on stuff.

Car is awesome, but I don't like the stripes.

hihoslva

Stripes - some do, some don't. I dig it. And the color is very subtle, too.

No offense taken, I'm sure none was meant.

Looks good man, but what do you need with that amp on/off switch?

hihoslva

Sweedenhouse - the switch was for my P.O.S. amp - I hate to listen to talk radio (read: Howard Stern every morning) or AM stations (traffic reports and occasional news) with the sub booming. So I just put in a rocker switch attached to the remote wire so I could shut the amp off when I wanted to. I'm hoping to install the bass control **** for my new RockFosgate amp in the same location.

Gro Harlem - The kit is NOT hose techniques - I actually got impatient and picked up a kit at a local ATV store. I don't remember the lengths/sizes, or even the brand, but you can see I covered a lot with it, and I still have some good lengths left - the kit was only $30, and I bought red wire loom in different sizes for a few bucks a package - I still have a full pack left - if I don't use it, I'll return it. About $50 total for everything - not bad.

Protégé Ménacé - thanks for the tip. They certainly do use salt on NY roads in the winter. I like the soda bottle idea, too - sounds like a very simple and free way to give the compressor some added rust protection. I'll probably hook something up like that soon. Hmm....maybe a red soda bottle?

hihoslva

Nice, nice. My horns andcompressor are mounted in entirely different locations from yours, and the compressor I mounted sideways, but I should be able to hook something up.

I had a helluva time finding a place to mount everything when i went to do it about a month ago - I'm figuring if I had the stock intake removed, I would've found a place easier, but I had to lay the compressor on its side in the location I mounted it - the headlight harnesses are in the way. I'll figure something out - at least the threat of snow (and the impending salting of roads) is pretty much over now.

Thanks again.

nightowl

nice choise of stereo! hehe i got the same one

Makaveli

What stereo is it?

By the way, speaking of Rockford Fosgate subs.... Wow

About three years ago I was in a Liqour Store when the bottles started rattling. This guy only had 2 10"s and it was so freakin loud!!! Sounded clear too, the beats that is
