New Kenwood head unit, but i'll have to dive back in there, just subs and fronts. I didn't really want to cut into the factory harness, but the jumper harness I got from Crutchfield/metra is missing the line level inputs for the rear. Read a bunch last night, no real 100% answers due to the many audio configurations available with these cars. We'll get there. KDC-BT958HD, looks good, sounds good, just need to get the rears up and running, and switch the constant and ignition 12+ wires in the harness.

Gave her a bath and drove her gently to work. Can't wait to thrash it on the way home.

Anything special about the paint / prep on the cowl? I've used that Black Magic stuff but it only lasts a week and a half or so of DD.

Installed some SRM Fuel Rails on the beast! Just waiting on a couple more fittings to finish it up.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic!

I cleaned it good with soap and water let it dry. Then a quick rub down with some alcohol for prep. Then I painted with multiple thin coats of black plastidip. It looks great.
