Okay, so time to fill you guys in on some things I've done recently. For starters, I did get the rear taillights tinted a few months back. The only down side is that I didn't put a protective clear over them, and Now the tint has faded off some and needs to be redone. But, for your entertainment, I'll show you what I did.

This it what they looked like before.

So I got some supplies, sanded off the old tint, cleaned off the residue, and started taping off the reverse light.

Now it was time for a few coates of tint, and let it dry.

Now for the Final Product.

So then i started on my false floor.

Coming back home from the wood shop

All I did was start at the front, and lay each board one by one until I got to the back.

As you can see at near the end of the floor, I left a gap. This was so that I could pull through any wires that will be going to my rear battery bank.

I also made a battery tray to hold my Group 31's...but as of right now, this is going to be changed due to my design change which you will see in a later thread.

After getting the floor done, I recieved my AQ TS-6.5 component sets in the mail, a few decals from TechForce Services, as well as some HID's. The component sets will be the front and rear stage.

These are the decals I will be using, most likely as the dust caps on my subs.

These are the components sets that I ordered from AudioQue.

Now, when I tinted my tailights, my idiot self also tinted the headlights, which was a complete failure. So when I installed my HID's, I use a healight restoring kit beforehand.

As of now, my passenger side HID in blown, so in the near future I will be going back to halogen due to my failures at HID's.

I then decided it was time to start work on the wall.

Here is the wall in comparison to my dad for size relevance.

Next we got the port installed.

Then we got the wall installed and seated in the car. I promise you this was a bitch.

Also got 2 of the 3 total batteries installed and wired up.

During some down time, I went ahead and ordered my recones, which are for 18's. I got the recone kit with the basket. I also stopped by and got some more tint thrown on the windows. During this time, a very close family member died. So it took a while to get any more work done after this point.

A pic of the kit layed out with the magnets.

Then it was off to the tint shop. I orginally had 20% on the sides and back. I then had 5% installed over the 20%, resulting in a 1% tint on the sides and back. I also had 30% installed over the front windshield.

As a little extra, I had my security decal installed on the rear window...lol.
