Im going to work on it this weekend and hopefully will be able to work something out... ive unbolted the factory amp and tried it without bolting it back down in the truck maybe there is some sort of built in grounding thing that happens and therefore dosent power the rear unless its bolted down... ill let you know!!

I picked up my rims today... I can't get over how shiny they are now! They look like a completly new wheel, I worked on my exhaust also, finished welding on my flex pipe and now all thats left is to find 2 X 2 bolt exhaust flange gaskets and one 3 bolt gasket where the downpipe bolts to the turbo... I also have to extend the mufflers about 3 inchs to clear the rear bumper. The wing I got didnt come with anything to mount it to the trunk which is kind of depressing. Any advice on ways to mount this would be much appreciated? If not I will let the body shop do it when it goes for paint in 3 weeks. Still fiberglass left to do on the front bumper, trim the vertex side skirts to fit and then attach the kit... Car will be on the road the 22nd!!! wont be painted but its good enough for now lol


more updated to come
