Quick update. Been busy due to some family stuff, and constantly being away from work.
But here is a little item:
I added that JDM USB port, comes in handy once in awhile. Also directly to the left of that is my JL audio Bass control knob, thank goodness I finally got this in, my sub really pounds, and when you hop into the thing early in the morning, that can be unpleasant. Still deciding on what to do with that final slot, I've got too many ideas.
Next update will be for the rookie front bumper, it's already wrapped, just gotta get home this weekend, and pick it up so I can install. :waiting:

So been super busy again with work. This update was never posted here:
Front end all complete.
As for further updates I really have nothing, I yanked all the optional insurance on my car and did some maintenance to store her. That was right at the end of October. Since then nothing, I won't really have much to update on till the new year, heading home from work tomorrow afternoon, and then headed straight to the airport to go to mexico.
Will deal with my ever growing list of to do's in the new year I guess...lol

The ride looks great Meme!!!
Slow modding, super busy with life (and by life I mean work since that's about all I do). Nonetheless I've made some minor progress.
The episode of Lucifer which my car was on aired February 22, 2016. Couple Screen caps:
Pretty cool, although my car was in the back mostly, and the shooting happened before I made a lot of changes to the front end of the car, so it looks completely different now. That's how it goes though, anyone who wants to check out the episode, it's called "Sweet Kicks".
First minor unfinished business was my Shift knob, I picked up this stainless steel knob, from a vendor (who I won't name, but we all know), the knob is decent, the transaction however was so completely shit that this vendor gains absolutely no endorsement from me whatsoever.
Don't know if I ever posted a closer picture of the CNC stainless knobs. I love these things:
Another minor item related to the interior, when I installed the paddles I lost the spot where my steering wheel adjuster went. So I had to move that a bit:
Next minor item was the Hella Sharptones, for those that don't know the sharptones are just like the supertones, except have a deeper sound, I thought it would be better on a car like mine. Unfortunately they only come in yellow, so:
I refinished them in blue with a quick spray paint, and gold hardware. Jesus the hardware from the factory on these is cheap garbage, took forever to take apart cause of stripping the heads.
While waiting to install those Sharptones I knocked another quick item off, had to add a bit of black vinyl to the front bumper edge in order to match the rest of the trim on the car. This is a temporary thing, but I couldn't live with it the way it was so this was a decent solution:

Looking good Meme. Nice update!
Install of the sharptones was super easy because the factory horns actually mount the exact same way the Hella's are meant to be mounted:
Factory connectors also plug right into the horns:
The only issue here would be that ideally the Hella's need a thicker power wire. I'll see how it goes with the factory cable as it doesn't seem as small as some subies, but if I feel they are still underpowered I will run a bigger wire to these.
Working on the LED lighting in my spare tire area, which is where my tanks and pumps and stuff are housed, also adding some lights to the outside, the usual ricer LED stuff....:rotfl:
