so another update. fixed the radio humming with a big thanks to one of the guys on the forum here, Rising_Sun! He was a huuuge help! ended up there was a wire behind the headunit that needed to be grounded correctly. He also regrounded a wire from the amp in the trunk as well. No more radio humming and the system sounds awesome now.
So for those who are having the same issue as i did, check your grounds! simple fix

 

The rain-x headlight restore kit is crap. I used the 3M headlight restore kit, best $30 I've ever spent. Headlights looks damn near brand new!

 

still getting things done with the car slowly. Today i got around to putting in rear swaybar bushings. I bought the Energy Suspension ones from Vatozone. It cost me 21 for the rear and 21 for the fronts. Damn, was it a pita to install these at first! Took me over an hour to get the pass side bushing up once i figured to use a jack for the swaybar. Then the drivers side took no more than 20 mins

Hopefully ill get around to cutting down the brackets for the fronts and installing tomorrow. I definitely want to work on the rest of the suspension before any other upgrades/mods. It'll be a slow process but soon enough the ride/handling will be perfect.

 

being that this is the first upgrade or "mod" im doing to the car, im too excited for more

 

fronts were installed today!

Got em all greased up and ready to go! one question though... saw this when i took the underside panel off, what is this hose hanging(blue), and why is it not connected to anything...? should it be connected to the other piece circled(red)? any help is appreciated!

 

^^the tube circled in red is a drain for the radiator and the one in blue is a drain tube connected to the bottom of battery tray

 

awesome, i thought they were disconnected hoses haha. thanks for the help!
