Some quick pictures plus new additions

[anselv]

Hello , just posting up some pictures of the car since I promised collegekid I would after I got his rims . I also posted some new additions to the car , including OEM Navigation (it came out of a CHEVY Surban ) . It tracks excellent plus it intergrates fine with my I-POD thank to the AUX-POD.

Also shown are the KATZINS leather Interior pieces with Door panel inserts . I also have the leather shift booth and arm rest cover , thanks to redline goods , I really like those pieces , along with a leather automatic MOMO shifter .

I have the mustang gas cap ( with the mustang logo removed of couse) and painted it to match the car . I think it looks pretty sharp with the metal stubby antenna . In the trunk it shows my nitrous tank and subs ( 12 inch directed subs ) . I also switched my exhaust from a dual setup to a single flowmaster setup with Magnaflow tips .

I also put on the black headlights for now until I recieve my "other" set of lights (hopefully this year) .


here are some shots of the wheels (sorry for the crappy pictures I can't use a digital camera . lol . )

Anyway enjoy . Sorry again for the low quality photos when I get the car detailed i will try to get some better shots .

[cobrajeff92]

also wut headunit is that it looks stock. wut brand and how much i gotta have one.

[anselv]

It is a stock headunit out of an 04? I think Chevy Surban . I got it for $300 US on E-BAY with nav. disc but no antenna . I purchased the antenna new for $50 US , again from e-bay.

[SikMindz]

Clean ass ride (Silver FTW!) I'm not diggin' either set of rims but am loving the trunk setup. Pos. rep!

[coupe]

Sorry but those rims kill it.

Why buy black headlights with the orange reflector? totaly defeats the purpose.

[notsoaveragej0e]

I'm really diggin the whole car, very tastefully done. The headunit only cost 350$ huh? If I could find one for that much it would be a direct swap on the Monte...hmm...

[cobrajeff92]

is the GA wires fit fine in that unti or did you have to mod it at all.

[Hodge]

you know my buddy has those on his BMW, and they look good. your car looks good though. different but i like

[anselv]

I got lucky because it was a direct plug in . i just needed to carry the car to a dealership to unlock the radio and program in the vin .

Ohh and as for the orange reflector . Cops up here will find any reson to pull you over and give you a ticket . And since clear corners are illegal here . ORANGE REFLECTOR FTW !!! lol .

[Elderas]

diggin the rims, theres something about em.

nice ride love the leather. looks mint

[silvergtjrad]

Nice ride, extremely tasteful. Got anything under the hood besides nitrous?

[caraudiodave]

ehhh, I dont think I like the rims on your car. They are okay, but I think they would look better on black GA, or of course a BMW or something of that sort. But overall, very nice car.

[thecollegekid]

Definately got the euro look man. They look huge in those fender wells. The multi-spoke design makes them look bigger than they actually are. Congrats, that's one clean interior!

[pyro]

it all looks good. get some tint tho! lol
not really feelin' the rims, but to each his own.

[timberwoof]

That's the RKsport kit correct. Always wanted to know wht it looked like on a 4 door. Been thinking about getting it, but I was to paint the car a dark blue, maybe a viper blue.

Very Clean looking ride man, Props.

[Bryan]

Everything flows so nicely especially with the interior. Mad props.

[Grreen99GT]

i liked the first set of rims better, but besides that it looks good

[WeibSunder]

Car looks amazing, I'm not really diggin the rims, but overall, it's a very nice car. I really like that wing, adds a lot to the car.

[preed4962]

That car makes my mouth water! Nice work! As for the GPS.. I would guess that the buttons light up green/white at night and not red correct? Where did you mount the GPS antenna? I have free access to a Tech2 and have thought about doing this for a long time... just wasnt sure on the logistics.

thanks!

[Exodus]

I like the rims but not on the GA. Other than that, nice work.

[Jake]

I like the rims but not on the GA.

x2, Really likin the interior, and the rear end. secksi

[shogun99]

im not loving the rims either but they dont look bad.....they actually look good but not MY personal style. As for the interior....top notch man, awesome job on that interior!

thanks!

The buttons light up green all the time actually , but it still looks good . I mounted the GPS antenna inside the dash behind the radio .

Caraudiodave isn't that your old sub box?

[SikMindz]

Similar idea but I think Dave sold the sub box to LukeD when LukeD bought the entire GA. Not sure though...

[pkron05]

does that shifter have brake release on it like a stock shifter and how hard was it to install. Also did you make the door inserts your self or order them, whats the material. Just askin, cause I'm in the middle of my doors for my silver ga, and I'm thinkin black or silver leather for the doors.

[Rich]

kudos on painting the gas cap. the kit makes the rims look tiny. i bet if they were bigger theyd look better.

the shifter isa straight swap for the orginal , not sure about the brake release ? I think that came in older models , not sure though . the door inserts came as part of the package with the seat covers , they are leather .

[anselv]

Nope I bought this box off of e-bay .

i think hes talking about the knob on the side of the stock shifter that you have to push in to make the shifter move. you would have it. so you just can move the shifter then?

[anselv]

Oh okay . well then yes it does have that . the momo button depress down when your what to shift gears .

[drumking1721]

dude your car is sick! looks like a boni..i like

[e-nizzle]

That's a pretty sweet car. I've never seen a body kit with that kind of a nose before? What is it?

[Rich]

rksport kit.

[rennation]
