mpearce1974 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well stock tinted tails are in, stereo system is in, sound deadening is almost done, new carpet will arrive very soon(thats when I post pics) Alot of parts are on their way to make interior 100%. New door panels are in, instead of Skunks I am going with Ksport lowering springs, and Tokico blues. Waiting to lower until I get Rear LCA's, and Camber kit for rear, and front A-arms. Might be ordering rims soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good as Del Sol door panels get are in and sound deadened on doors, and underside of door panel! New interior door handles are in thank god!! New targa handles! Snapped a pic with one of each in on tails. Installed Alpine TypeR components, tweets look sweet! Fitment of new mats! Thank god they added sticker it may of taken me hours to figure it out!
