    Interior:
    First off, a huge shoutout to Eastbeach. He introduced me to this trim, and we both love it.
    Showing off a little of the brushed aluminum trim: For this, I used chrome trim from Discount Auto Parts, sanded it down in the same direction carefully.


    More trim: (Also pictured, is my foglight controller. Top is the cycle for 7 colors, middle is power, and bottom is for fog lights themselves.)


    Soundproofing: Ended up doing the entire rear end, and all the doors including the hatch.


    Under the drivers seat is my sub amp, its a PPI 600.2 phantom? I think. Its a great little amp, it runs a little hot, but it feeds the TC beautifully.


    Center Dash, this is probably my most favorite part. Pioneer 2400BT, and carbon fiber wrap.


    Dome Lights, the picture is rather old. Haven't had those subs for about a year and a half now.


    Suede interior, did the work myself, but the headliner had to be redone by a professional due to inferior glue:

      Exterior:

      Beep Beep! I'm a Jeep!


      Went through hell, but it paid off. Imported a 2008 European bumper into the US (only one in the US)!


      Ordered the OEM grill to fit the euro bumper, originally I redid the mesh for the euro, but it just didn't look nearly as clean.


      Brightening up the streets, even during the day (Pre-Euro Bumper):


      Got some new wheels! XXR 530s in 19x8.75:


      Fog Lights One of the 7 colors, also my avatar:


      Bought 1.25" spacers for the rear, cambered out!


      Vent Visors!

          Not bad. I think if you are going to lower something like this though, it should be on air and on the ground.

            Air would be great, but it would have to be a custom build. I've only got about 2 1/2 inches - 3 between frame and ground as of now and my SRT4 coilovers are already competely maxed. If anything, I'll pull a collar from them and drop it max again.

                This is pretty cool, but are those HIDs in the stock housings? Everyone else on the road hates you if they are haha

                      I completely forgot I posted a thread. Sorry I never updated it again.
                      Here's a roller to make up for it, taken on the way to a USF car show.


                      Recent did a full Nexus 7 with LTE data dash install.Still working out some kinks, but it works great!


                      Dialed in my coilovers finally, and running 3* camber all around now.


                      Had some custom headlights made, custom eye lids, rings, shrouds, angel and demon eyes all with custom paint.


                      Another shot of the front, taken at UTI Torque meet.


                      And for now, I leave with these. Until I remember once again I have this. I'll try to keep a better update!

                        Wow, very nice!

                        Un tint the tails and red out the reverse lights.

                          I like this. I like it a lot.

                          Good work.

                            I'm not sure how red will look, but my blacked out tails definitely pull away from the build. I'll pick up another set of tails and possibly see about doing some custom work as well.

                            Thank you, It's becoming a slower build. This platform has 0 aftermarket so everything has been custom so far. I'm in the works of tucking my bay, won't be doing any shaving though.
