Did a few minor jobs today...

Replaced the hood emblem with a pewter version and a new gasket (yes, the hood is stone chipped!)

Replaced the rear and dash speakers with Alpine units - much improved sound quality, a low cost upgrade, and super simple to fit with a kit from JMG.

Installed a rear wiper delete kit - cleans up the rear (I've already done the rear badge delete).

Was going to fit the new exhaust tips, but the access is horrible, and it's a bit cold for laying on the drive under the car, so I'll leave them to my Indy when it goes in for the cats.

Nice! Do you have a link for those speakers? Was it a plug and play swap?

How expensive is the JMG alpine upgrade? I'd like to replace my front speakers at a min. I've heard the rears dont need to be uograded since they barely work (i dont hear mine well). Anyone have opinions on this?

Simple plug and play. Took me about an hour and a half to change all 4 speakers.

I paid £129 for each set (speakers and fitting kit).

Both sets work, and both sound good. Its the door speakers that just add a bit of bass, but not much else.

Installed my rear wiper today and realized Auto Atlanta didnt fulfill my entire order. They left out the Rubber grommet (996-628-273-01)

Atlanta, Pelican and Sonnen are out of stock.

Anyone have one they'd be interested in selling?
