Red/Clear tails and head unit install COMPLETE (Pics)
Just took some quick pics, I'll take some better ones later (sorry she's dirty):
Red/Clear Tails:
LED Brake lights on:
Pioneer DEH-7600
The Red/Clear tails were a royal pain. I ended up taking out the diffuser part all together. I like they way it made the red parts of the lights look (they look like jewels at night, and glimmer when you walk by) I used LED bulbs for the actual brake lights.
The head unit install went pretty smoothly. After my estimate at HiFi buys, ($150 dollars to install the deck and put a spray painted piece of MDF as a fill in panel) an installer friend of mine told me that he had just put one in another sc recently and he could do it for me. I ended up payin about 70 bucks for everything plus the cost of the deck. He actually wired one of the RCA pre-outs on the deck to the factory amp, thus eliminating the need to bypass the amp. It sounds great. The dash kit is actually made out of two different mazda kits and a GM pocket. I think it came out very well- and much better looking than the MDF would have.
Let me know what you think or if you have a question.
Thanks,
Zac

Very nice. The tails look good . What method did you use for opening up the housings? I have a set of 95-96 tails coming in the mail & plan on clearing them out. Any pointers for me?
*Edit: What type of mufflers are they? They look good, what do they sound like? Sorry, buncha questions

The mufflers are just universal straight through w/ custom piping. They sound great- much better than i had ever hoped for. The car rumbles at idle and has an almost exotic sound under full throttle.
