I installed tv's in the headrest and on visors total of 4. Added custom box with 2 L7's kicker with amp and tweeter on the back passenger door for some highs. sounds sick!

Nice ride man...love that kit! I know this is a long shot but I think I may have met you last fall at Lakeland car wash in Bohemia, NY. Maybe not...but I met some guy there who had the same car with the same kit and wheels and mentioned he was from Queens. He was NOT a CL member at the time either. I remember I asked if he would think about selling his kit to me because I really wanted it and it is hard to come by...lol Welcome!

NY streets are far different from the streets here in Dallas Jeff. Being a Bronx native, I can tell you.. Dallas streets are heaven compaired to NY! I cant tell you how many blown struts and bent rims I used to get back in the day.

You have a really clean ride. I would love to see pics of your headrests and your setup in your trunk!

yea ny has a high cost of living more now cuz it seems like cost of everything is getting higher and higher but I love the NYC nightlife. Like they say its the city that never sleeps. I can go hit the clubs on the weekend party till 8am then go hit up an afterhours club till noon. Ofcourse u need some illegal substance to help u stay up . I'm just enjoying it now when I can.
