i just purchased one of these myself for my r/t, from what the guy said, the black and red are your + and - and the other 4 wires will match up to your rear speaker wires, color for color. I'll be installing it here next week so i can give you all the info once its done if you'd like
r/tguy02, you're right- I was thinking only of the fact that the Kicker will fit in any 2GN's trunk cavity,
not about the wiring harness (dang it, will I always be such a noob?). neonpla, keep us posted, I'm interested in how to retrofit when one of these units didn't come stock.

Yeah cars always look different in person than they do in pictures online. As long as you like the interior, that's all that counts. It's leather so that's a plus

I'll be looking forward to seeing this car come together cause it's yeller.

As for a CAI and believe me I spent enough time screwing with one that is a good fit for the NGC mags this is what I came up with:
1 Stock Airbox
K&N cone (forgot PN it might be the drop in)
Pull the resinator and elbow. You can fab up a little bracket from sheet metal to hold the air temp sensor from the elbow
Hard bellows tube (any muffler shop can make you one.
Get a pack of extra thick self adhesive wetherstrip from home depot and run it around the out side lip of the airbox(The lid stays off) Make sure your hood sits down far enough that this will seal if not you might have to run another layer on the hood itself.
If you wish go to the craft store and get a few packages of gold leaf and line the airbox with gold foil (CDC sells self adhesive gold foil for stuff like this its pretty expensive but much easier I have yet to get an airbox to come out right but Im not much for arts and crafts

)
Air tems as low or lower than a CAI no elongation of the intake tract and no way to ingest water plus your total bill will be less than $100

What is the purpose of this gold foil you speak of?

To make a good part look rice, I imagine.

Yeah I'm confused as to it's purpose....I cannot surmise any.

Uhh that sounds like idk on the intake crafting.. I coould just always buy a ebay intake and use a aem filter on it and call it a day on that.. I'm at work rite now but later I'm gonna see if the parts department is still open at the dealership and order the lip kit. I hope the car looks as good as I'm picturing it on my mind rite now..u well see as the months come and go.

Argh, don't shortcut this car. Get good parts, once. Get an AEM if you get one. Or you can just take out the resonator box, either way.
Order the coils tonight. LK, tonight. Intake tonight. MOST CERTAINLY, get the Timing Belt, and Water Pump. Do the serpentine belts, just to get it outta the way. Hell, order a cam and do it ALL at one time.

To reflect radiant heat. Spray adhesive and aluminum foil works well. Just doing the bottom of the air box and not the lid it isn't really visable, so rice is not a huge worry.
I did it to mine before I went to the Ghetto IM set up. All you can see is the lid, which I retained. It was color matched to the car tho.
It does haz funktion, so that cancels out any rice effect.

The McLaren F1's engine compartment contains the mid-mounted BMW S70/2 engine and uses gold foil as a heat shield in the exhaust compartment
just to back up what they said since i was late.
