Default Finally got my rears put in....calipers are next!

So I spent the last two days (well last night this morning) putting in my Alpine 5.25's in the rear panels. Im quite pleased, they definetly are an improvement. I would reccomend this for anyone whos considering or might be on the fence.


Also bought a Dremel tool for the first time....what have I been doing without one of those!!!



Here are some pics

Thanks everyone, sorry should have posted this on the electronics page, actually I thought I was in that forum when i posted but....oh well..

but thanks, Im happy with the results, Ive leased cars since I was 18 (28 now) and this if the first car Ive owned, and im having a blast in the month ive had the car with small modifications. Its like almost having a car for the first time, with leasing, I just drove it, took it get an oil change every 4500 miles and that was it. So like a noob, I never got to put in my own equipment or had a desire, but Im loving it with my S.


Again, thanks for the positive remarks.


Yes I did vaccum the carpet, im a neat freak and have cleaned the car four times since I bought it, and my gf thinks im wiring every week (ipod, speakers, and amp) just so I can take the seats out and clean under them


Capipers are next, I settled on gunmetal, I have stock rims on an AP1 and didnt want anything too flashy but to quote Maury Finkel "you know, little touches, little touches" so as soon as the paint arrives im gonna "do it, do it"

Lil nervous, got the dremel bit needed, but im gonna have to do some research and properly plan this project out, ive been inclined so far just to jump in and ask question hip deep!!!

Not sure yet, I know a week ago when i thought about doing this i found a thread where someone listed two, but with massive amounts of threads on this subject ill be damn if i can find it....if i do ill let you know....I would have thought that this topic would have been a sticky by now...almost like a maze when i find a thread because that thread leads to two other threads, which lead to other threads....lol, im probably reading the same two threads over and over again
