It was pretty complicated, it took me and a whole shop of master installers a month to get it just right! (Of course mine wasn't the only project going on at the time.)

Basically we cut out the mount for the spare tire and pounded it flat, lined the whole area with foil so the fiberglass wouldn't stick to the car but would allow us to get the most of the air space, lay down the glass, then attach the rest of the box to the top of the glass, then built places to mount the amp, battery, and capacitors, then built a false floor to hide the wires, battery and capacitors, first we used cardboard to make a mock up of the flush panel, then used that to make one out of Masonite, wrapped it in black vinyl, and installed the flush panel, the end! (Not as easy as this sounds!!!)

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!
Ok, so the week of October second I had 3 days off and I was ready to Install the parts I have accumulated over the past few months.

First a new fender...









Much Better!


Next the sound deadening project! This was a lot of fun, I have never stripped a car of the whole interior and actually put it back in, a great learning experience!

First pulling everything out.











Getting rid of the rattle around the license plate bezel.





Laying down the Stinger Roadkill first.















I didn't get many pics of putting the carpet pad down under the black carpet, but I cut it to size and used 3M spray adhesive to hold it in place.



Then came the black carpet and putting it all back together.

















I also added some Varad HLWX LED color changing tubes, under the dash, under the seats, next to the moon roof, and in the hatch.











I also added the light up ring around the ignition, here is the plug that was under the dash that you plug it into.Its the one on the right, the one on the left is for the factory security system.





I took out the Cusco strut braces and added the TRD front strut brace and a GT-Four rear strut brace.



The emblem that was on it was trashed so I ordered a new one from E-bay...







I got the clear parking lights and side markers from E-Bay, this is what you get, new housings, bulbs, sockets, seals for the side markers, and screws.



Next, pics with the lights off, in the daytime.





Daytime, lights on.







Night time, lights on, flash on.



Night time, lights on, flash off.







I think their totally worth the $85 for the side markers and turn signals!!!

I think that's all for now......

Thanks! I wish they were just clear and not the "diamond cut" but they look so much better than the amber ones!

Mate,the fron markers look so nice but also go for the philips sylver vision chrome bulbs for the blinkers and you will have totaly clear view from them!
they are a little expensive but the bright is the same like original amber one but with chrome look wink.gif the best one on market!

cheers

Ya, I think I'm gonna do that but the closest parts store is on the mainland and its like 30 miles away so I haven't gotten around to it yet.....

Edit: Also do they make a Silverstar in a 194 bulb for the side marker or did you guys use something else?

Ya, I've heard mixed reviews about those, plus their really expensive! $26 for a pair! And the 194 bulbs are the same price as the 1157&1156 bulbs, and I like to have a back-up set in case they burn out so that means I would have to spend over $100 to get what I want, pretty pricey!!!
