What kit is that?
I know it's not JP because of the kit closes in around the wheels like that...

Nice plans though =)

needs more trim and or double din but its an improvement over my stock,and on a budget i can freely play my OWN playlist cuz the radio in vegas sounds like god damn repeat all the time.

also ashtray delete now hides my mp3 cable and all piece of plexi wrapped with velvet 3m sprayed to glue it together i like it lol
mps has a Velcro strip on the back to hold it and for easy on off for charging and whatnot.


next interior task is going black if i can find a 93 with all black or if i should just get it dyed or re wrapped. all in due time thanks for browsing my slow progress guys and any input on anything is much appreciated since im still a N00b

Im no huge fan of katzkin, but they make a kit for your car, the rest.. Try and find a black car, if not possible, S.E.M. Makes a decent interior dye
