#flagshipfleet meet was a huge success... cant wait to start organizing next yrs meet... As my trunk (or trunk lid) wasn't 100% for that meet we're gearing up for the Mystery Meet 10/25 here in Orlando.. then H.I.N. Tampa 11/14... here's a few teaser pics

Thanks.. it's been a long time in the works..

I found a few "tiny" issues during HIN.. (actually the day b4) the rule was the starting battery must be disconnected. That meant all the leds had to be rewired to my aux batt behind the bumper which also needed to be separated from the cars system (I never play audio w/of the engine on so the batteries were paired together, but the aux ran directly to the 2000.05 sub amp)

So 6am the day of the show in the hotel parking garage I rewired all the leds,both amps,rigid hyperspots,Nike drls,led fogs,reverse lights to the aux battery AS WELL AS TO THE MAIN BATTERY via relays tied to a secret hidden now dubbed "show mode switch" unfortunately there wasn't enough time to pull the oem radio to rewire it in also.. so I had no audio for the entire show.

Now I'll pull the head unit an figure out a way to power IT, the ML amp and the Touch Screen w/o actually turning the car on... OR having it feed back into the cars systems... I am allowed an external power supply but that will only charge the aux batt an manage high amp current draw from the sub amp (but only up to a 100amp draw) FML... (reading this back it's sounds to be a difficult task)

Stay tuned..... I'll keep u posted...

Yeah the great thing about lights.. is that you can turn them off or tone them down if they get to be too much..

here are a few pics of the wiring upgrades in progress.. 1st pic shows last min changes made in the hotel parking lot before H.I.N. (indoor show with last minute rule changes) So now I'm implementing a more permanent fix thanks to Knukonceptz an their crazy flexible distribution blocks.. (notice the Pac 500 relay!!)

As always...great job man! Very clean, very professional.
I wanted to ask if you still have plans on redoing your Nike Light install?
