Alright, just a recap of new things that no longer work in my car that need to be replaced.

3 out of 4 of my speakers went out.. and now i have to replace them. (i bought a set of Infiniti Components for the front and a coax set for the back) I might still take it back to the original shop to see if they will just replace the speakers for free since they wired it wrong in the first place.

2 of my monitors have now gone out.

I re-wrapped my speaker panels on my doors and don't like them at all.. so they will need to be re-done.. AGAIN (for the 3rd time) They also dont fit right, so you can see a GAP between the door and the panel.

I REBUILT the sub enclosure/Floor because the first one was too bulky, heavy and ugly.

I had the CF hood put on about 2 weeks ago, and the shop scratched BOTH sides of the car puttin' it on, and tried to cover it up by wet sanding the scratches/chips and repainted with touch up paint.. (you can still see scratches around the touch ups.

Rear LED's dont work.

I have to re-attach the underbody lighting kit every few weeks because it wont stay tight on the plastic, AND the ties get brittle and break cuz its EXTREMELY hot here during the summer.

It's almost not worth all the time and money!! I'll most likely be trading my car in next year for something that i dont have to keep in "show" condition, which is also my daily driver... I like to keep my car clean, but the up keep on a show car is just gettin' rediculous.

I have been lately.. but its not like up there where i have tons of people to help me out on the weekend if i dont know what im doing.. so its takin' me awhile to get it all done! haha.. I installed the interior lights, the R-Blox, the underbody lighting, and my sub floor with a bit of help. AND i re-wrapped my speaker panels on the door in black which i liked better in red.. but im NOT doing those again.. that was a huge pain in the ass! I'll have that done somewhere. After the summer/show season is over, i'll probably take it to a GOOD sound shop and have the system rebuilt the right way.

wow buddy, you're really still dishing it out. Haven't seen the car in the longest time, so I can't wait to see what you got up your sleave. So, did you say you got a new hood or just CF the old one?
