Talk to Andy at ADM Performance. He can hook you up. He's great to deal with. (214) 228-8782.

Pre fitting the carbon fiber hood. It almost fits perfect right out of the box!

Man that looks sexy I wish carbon fiber looked good on 4th gens

Shot of the Polk DB door speaker. I reused the factory speaker mount. The 4 pin plug goes to the crossover input using the factory wiring, and the door woofer. The crossover is mounted inside the door panel, with the tweeter wiring going to it.

I also rewired the center channel speaker. I spliced the left front channel wires from the Axxess interface box to it. Now I have all the chime functions as well as OnStar. It just comes through the (unused) center channel speaker instead of the front left.

Working on the ABL dash mod. I spaced the dash panels out a little differently than has been described in the threads. I used some rubber rings that would go on a pinball machine (I have these in stock at work). I used 1/2" rings, but had to cut the one on the left down to half thickness. This is the "no sand" type of ABL mod used by TAG UR IT.

I'll know tomorrow. I like it since you push in the trim until it stops (you can't push it in too far) and I didn't need the weatherstripping. Hopefully it'll work the same on the long side.

Success on the long side for the ABL! I had to use a combination of 3/8" and 7/16" rings to get the gap correct, and it would probably vary from car to car. Many thanks to TAG UR IT and 2SSRS for figuring all the hard parts of this mod. Again, it was the no sand type of ABL mod done.

Footwell lighting is done. Wired off the dome light circuit for power. I spliced off the grey connector, gray wire that's under the dash near the steering column at the firewall. Now, if you turn off the dome light the footwell lights turn off also.

A couple of pics showing the detail on the passenger door panel. You can see how I mounted the speaker crossover, storage compartment LED and door handle LED. I used RTV to keep the crossover in place and hot glue to keep the wires and LEDs in place. The LEDs had mounting rings, but I wanted to reinforce them a bit.
