I finally have some images up. The more recent images are inside a do-it-yourself car wash as it was the brightest area I could find with it getting this dark so early. The pictures are dark and shadowy. I can get better one's this weekend if need be during the middle of the day. When I wash it bits of the silver come right off the roof! A pressure washer would take it all off and leave the shiny factory paint. There are also a couple features I forgot to mention...

-Amp under passenger seat -Hidden subwoofer under rear bench in custom MDF box for a well rounded sound system (combined with JL Audio's mentioned below) -Bulldog full remote start, keyless entry with two fobs. Full parking light flash, 15 minute timer, temperature activation of engine, etc. (yes I know you aren't supposed to remote start a stick) -Pair of factory shoulder belts. (one already installed for son's booster seat) other will be included
