I've been gutting for over 5 hours........

I found professional glass strobes, strobe controllers, neon tubes everywhere, steel air horns under the hood. I am just doing a complete gut and reinstall of the audio, or some of it anyway. I also pulled out 6 planet audio mids, 2 planet amps, 2 pioneer subs and box, and god knows what else.

Project much?

congratz, wb, all that.

good choice of color

air horns ftw! does it look like there were any serious implications when they were installed? I'm due for new horns and I want ridiculous ones

Cluster lights? hells yes ... that would look amazing

I paid $8,570

Well after 36 hours of gutting and re-wiring the entire car from ceiling to floor - front to back...... I have created a monster LOL, not exactly, but I did end up building it exactly as I wanted it and I LOOOVVEE it.

I rewired all 4 of the screens, jumped the Eclipse Navi and DVD out to play at all times. Gutted the trunk and eliminated the original subs and box as well as a Planet eq and crossover, then added my MB Quart tens from my other IS300 I had 2 years ago (they box has been in my closet waiting one me to buy another IS).

I found strobes, neon, strobe controllers in the footwells, 3 amps, 4 tv's, two tens, two large soft dome 4 inch planet tweets, two planet 6.5 coaxials, 2 planet 6x9's, two sets of aluminum and steel air horns, .....I just can't remember everything that was in this car it was stuffed.

Anyway, let the pics show you some of the fun I've had. Oh and I had to clean everything with three state leather cleaner and steam the carpets while the car was gutted.... I'm freaking tired.
