  1. I decided to make this it's own thread instead of just putting the whole hitch cover build inside my build cause maybe some of you guys would like to do something similar so here it is.

    The actual face sheet of lexan took about 3 tries to get it right. At first I tried white paint as the light diffusing element however that didn't work. At all. So then I tried another way with a diffuse clear coat, and the first time it screwed up the existing maroon paint. So it wasn't until the 3rd try when I put a gloss black coat behind the maroon before it worked right. So take this into consideration when you see the order of the pictures as some are from different tries, however they were the same process so just follow along and it will make sense.

    This step I'm lining up where I want the LED's mounted in the second lexan plate.

    Wiring the LED's.

    I used to scavenge for components as a kid. I had PLENTY of resistors.

  2. This pic is from my hitch cover build, but they are the same that I used in the box as well.

    I used these, but didn't need the little washers on the subs. Just the allen head machine screws and t-nuts.

    You can get them at home depot and lowes, but they are shit quality and way over priced. Try and find a specialty screw and bolt shop locally and you should be gold. We've got an Ace bolt and screw here in town. They are my #1 first stop when I need hardware.

  3. I like that girl that sings in cascada, she's hot. :) She has a really good voice too, I've seen a live video of her and she didn't lip sync, she was really singing and it sounded JUST as good as the stuff you hear on the radio. Not my type of music really, but you gotta appreciate a real singer.

    So I guess that can be considered a favorite huh?

  4. take a fuse out of an accessory...like cigarette lighter or someting. then take the positive end of your wire (thats already stripped) and put it in the slot that the fuse goes it..then put the fuse back in.

    That's true and will work, but most cigarette lighter fuses are around 15 amps, FAR more than what alot of LED's will draw. It's best to even add a second fuse after that one strictly for the LED's. I think all my LED lighting is protected by a 2 amp fuse after the 15 amp cigarette lighter accessory fuse.

    Use one of these.

  5. You cant go wrong with alpine or eclipse. Seems like alot of the pioneer's I've worked with just never felt user friendly to me. I know for sure my alpine puts out a nice amount of voltage from the RCA's, and has a great built in crossover and EQ.

    Shop around and look for not only features but quality of the features.

  6. I think there's such a thing as mistakes, and purpose. As this stands, it's kinda weird to say if it wasn't done on purpose. It's a police officer's duty to keep himself as well as others safe while doing their job. They carry guns because their line of work is dangerous, and in cases their weapons help enforce.

    The man didn't need to be shot in this scenario from the looks of it. My conclusion is there are cops who are more eager to grab their gun than others, it's human nature that we all aren't the same in how we think and act. We make mistakes, and I'm sure the officer considers what happened a BIG mistake on his part now, but during the incident who knows what he was thinking. He made a mistake and therefore he shouldn't be allowed to keep his job to be fair.

    However, I think this incident is kinda screwed up in that it made a very bad view of all police. I think alot of people need to realize that not every cop is the same. As much as everyone would like the world to be perfect, it just never will be, and that goes to say with the incident as well.

    I'll say this, after seeing the cop shoot a guy I wouldn't do anything to make him uncomfortable and start busting caps at me. ;) However I don't think he should have a future in law enforcement after this either. All in all though, I wouldn't blame the police as a whole for one officer's wrong doing.

  7. I tend to not reply to "girls" that myspace message me. In the past I've had a so called "stripper" from another state I had to block, I think she was probably a guy or Fugly chick or something putting up fake pics. Then there's been a few girls that I actually do know are legit from friends of friends that stalked my page that I had to block.

    Everyone always think's it would be cool to have girls stalking you and such, but if you've ever been in the situation it's actually pretty creepy... So from now on I just prefer meeting people face to face.

    Ah yeah!!! :hairtrick:

  9. No, I think you're confused as to which wiring harness you're asking about aren't you?

    Every H/U comes with a wiring harness that comes from the plug on the back to wires, however are you asking about the harness that will connect into the factory radio harness? If so then no, you will have to buy a specific one for the car, then you will wire the two harnesses together yourself and they will go between the H/U and stock radio plug.
