SOME COSMETICS

Thanks to some tax refund...I finally got a few things installed.

CUPKIT -- $150 labor only
TINT -- $150
SUB/AMP $125 labor only
DOOR LOCK MECHANISM/ACTUATOR --$45 labor only
ALIGNMENT -- $50
TOTAL: $520 + tax
Not too bad, I think.
Other place I went to wanted 600 for cupkit & 300 for actuator.Labor only.

I do have a few ???

1: Is my rear wheel too flushed or not?
2: Can someone comment on my alignment? Don't know much about the numbers and I need to know if I need a camber kit or not and/or what cam kit I need.


Feel some vibration...although it was always there since I put my Boss aftermarket rims on there. I wonder if balancing it again would help it. It seems to veer to the right some.

My sub box is homemade. It's my first attempt with fiber glassing.
The wires were made purposely long to access the fuse box behind it in case it's needed.

Thanks all.

Yeah, you're going to definately want to get that camber adjusted. That's going to wear the ****e out of your tires.

It's pretty decent. Unless you are a pro audiophile it may not be superb.
I used about 9 layers of fiberglass & the whole enclosure fits like a glove w/o any wasted gaps.
