You found such a deal on the car...

amazing you have all this money to put into it.

Between all of the audio and the upgrades/checkups you're doing to the car you're gonna be putting $5K plus into it lol

it will still be worth more than i put into it

and all the audio i had sitting around and i pay no labor

all the maintinence is done by my friend at the gm dealer for free

i only got about 1,000 in it so far since i sold all the equip that came with the car for 500

any update pics of entire car? i love impalas im jealous u got such a good deal:(
will post pics of entire car tomorrow evening its in the garage covered for the night

gonna put more pics of the back dash tomorrow got the blow thru cut out

what grit do i use to sand fiberglass, im going to sand and do one more layer tomorrow and test fit the back dash cover tomorrow before i wrap it

 
im going to need you to work on your tech flex termination and application....no wire tie needed simply a piece of tape that barely fits around the wire and techflex and a piece of heat shrink...much more attractive....as for the application it shouldnt be that loose around the wire it should hug the wire much a like a chinese finger trap.

other than that looks nice
