btw, since the truck has been re-assembled, it looks pretty decent. I still LIKED (read: I) the old color better.

Ok i will stop. im not trying to start ish, i was just pointing something out.

I'm not talking shit. i was just calling out what i saw.

again, no one TOLD you to change it. they just stated an opinion. obviously you ARENT going to change it, its already painted. you keep on saying we're telling you that you HAVE to change it, when no one is actually doing that. that's how you're interpreting it.

Well, at least i have my own nuts, and im not like 80% of the other guys on here that like to ride your nuts

we understand that. most people are the same way with their cars. you did take suggestions on what color to paint the truck in the first place, FYI.

are opinions not allowed here? seriously everytime i see someone post an "idea" they think would look cool, you get heated. relax dude, not EVERYONE is going to like EVERYTHING.

are they done wetsanding and doing everything to the clear coat?

i wasen't trying to be an ass...idk how the condition of it was, i just meant i liked the lighter mocha color (or whatever its called) better than the new paint.

looks good, but i personally have to say i liked the old color alot better.

damn. maybe i will get the ss. although this is just for a daily driver, not to be modding haha

i dont really like the new ones as much. im set on getting the HHR

Ok, so i've sold the jeep, and should have my dakota sold soon too, and should have around 3,300, maybe closer to 4,000 for a down payment. i still have the MINI, and my explorer (which isnt driveable right now) and the MINI isnt a good daily driver becuase of the wall and all the stuff im doing to it, so it stays in the garage and only gets driven probably a few times a month if that. i need something reliable, and good gas milage (honestly i could care less as i daily drive an excursion right now so it cant get much worse lol) but this is going to be vinyl wrapped for a business advertisement, and be my daily driver, for a while. nothing will be done to it as far as system or anything lol, and im set on getting this car, ive driven a few and like them, theyre pretty room inside, cheap, get good gas milage, and i personally like how they look. they are also popular for vehicle wraps, as is the scion xb etc...my dad has an xB(the older one) and i like it, but i like these better. i drove a nissan cube too, i like those but they are a little TOO goofy looking lol. thought about getting a panel version of the HHR, since the rear glass will be covered, but those dont come with rear seats, then i'd find myself swapping in rear seats, and all that so im just gonna get the regular model. they come with 3 engines. 2.2L(155hp), 2.4L(tad bit more power, 172hp) and 2.0L (SS version, 260hp). i drove a manual SS, and it was pretty nice. i drove an auto 2.4L, was nice too. from what im reading, the 2.2L manual gets the best MPG (30+ on highway, some reporting as high as 37-38mpg) i kinda wanna stick with a manual. so im deciding between a couple options here... a BRAND NEW 2010 HHR LS (manual 2.2L) is 18,720, then its showing online theres a 2,000 dollar discount, making it $17,440 after dealer destination charge etc. then i have about 3-4g down, so lets say id be financing around 14k. the other option is buy a used SS, theres a used 2008 that i drove, stick shift, for 18,xxx (plus all the tag dealer fee all that ish) with 12,000 miles and a 5 yr warranty. this obviously wouldnt get as good fuel as the 2.2L either, but not too bad at the same time. which route would you guys go? i know for sure i want black interior (all black) and leather or anything doesnt matter. i drove one with leather and its nice, but i actually like the cloth seats alot as well. problem with buying a used LS model is most of them are automatic (which if i have to, ill go with that, its not THAT big of a deal, but i prefer manual) and then alot of them arent full black interiors (some have gray on the dash and seats, or tan, etc) give me some opinions here guys

this is what i have for the MINI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16883220002

ok so, the carpet, headliner, doors, pillars, and kick panels will be gray tweed. the dash will be DYED black. should i cover the front of my wall in black tweed, or black vinyl (i think itll look best black to compliment the dash) now on the seats, i was thinking about doing the front gray tweed (where its currently tan cloth), with the back parts and sides in black vinyl (where its currently tan vinyl) look at the pics below for reference and the console....gray tweed, with a black vinyl lid/armrest?

ive decided to not run a HU, but i will run an EQ. going with a Kicker KQ5. 7v preouts, aux in (for PC) front/rear/sub outs, and a volume knob, as well as parametric EQ features and a clipping meter.

i agree they do look cheap...looks like the coated it with bedliner lol and the stickers on some of the boxes are crooked at that...and they look like shoe boxes lol

wrong. its a single voice coil lol...u cant wire a single tweet to 4 or 8 ohms. its one or the other. alot of the cheap ones say that though...im not sure which one it is to be honest. i think its 8 ohm but i'd test it with a DMM to be sure. im gonna be ordering about 16 pyramid tw-44s soon and they also say 4/8 ohm...i dont know why....

well, i know you can buy a knob to control the volume of the computer. still not sure yet though which route im going to go.

ok so i have all the stuff for the MINI's carputer (screen, pc, etc) whats the BEST and CLEANEST way to provide power to it? its an Asus EEE box (not the netbook, its the desktop) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16883220002 also, my main concern is the following, as im going to start a console build in the MINI to house the pc and 10.4" screen, but i need to know some more info before i build the console so i dont have to change it later. should i run a HU with the PC and integrate it all somehow? or should i just run the PC as the source of all my music? i dont need FM radio, although i could get that IF i wanted and just tether from my phone, but i dont care about radio really. reason i ask is becuase my pioneer 880 right now is my crossover and EQ as well. i can run software EQ's and crossovers though, right? also, i want a hardware volume knob, not having to control it through the screen when i wanna turn it up or down. also, preouts...how does that work? id want a better high end sound card, and it would have to be an external one, which i can mould into the console too. any ideas? need 3 preouts total, one for my mids amps, one for tweets, and one for subs. whats the preout voltage like when you run this kind of setup? if i decide to keep a HU with the computer as well, how does it all wire together (RCA wise?) theres only 1 input on the amps, so how do i get it so i can have volume from either the HU, or the computer? Steve, i'd like some input on this from you as well, i know youve done the computers in chickens truck, and i think you recently put one in your ride too right, and also kept your HU? shed some light on that for me thanks

finally jake!!!!!!! i need 12 for the jeep!!!!

does it read the cd/dvd at all (does it show up in my computer when u put it in?) if not, try and delete the upper and lower filters, located here- In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

i think the iPad is the biggest piece of fail to date from Apple. if it had os x on it it would be another story (even though im still not an apple fan) but wtf, a huge iPhone?

will be all blacked out soon tint is double 5 all around and 5% on the w/s
