Clifford alarm huh?

What did you use to paint your interior? thats an interesting green.

as far as DIY mods go...back in the day, I made a custom grille for my 01 bumper out of gutter guard hahaha...looked pretty nice too, and fit alot better than the grillecraft grille ever did.

I painted my interior the first time myself, lasted for 2 years, I just wanted it to be alot smoother and glossier than I could ever make it w/out a paint booth, so I took it to the bodyshop I use.

made a custom switch panel out of a thin peice of metal that i had powdercoated gloss black and mounted 2 circle switches in the panel, on my lower dash near the fuse box....i thought I had a pic, but no luck. Ill snap one next time I take the car out. I thought it turned out pretty nice, even though nothing is hooked to the switches anymore lol

and this weekend, I plan on tackling the headliner thing

You have my stereo!

All I ever did for kustom work was to get rid of the plug on the end of my car phone charger, and wire it directly to a 12V power. Pretty cool, canbe hidden when not in use, and gives access to the 12V power plug

thats my old head unit

@ scneonchic: It was Krylon Fusion, Hunter Green. I wanted to add the gloss touch, but I didn't wanna have any reflection issues. The only blemish that's visible in that pic is one that was caused by someone. Needless to say, I felt like taking her head off

The alarm is a remote start Audiovox.

Those LEDs look wicked... I was thinking about doing something like that to my headlights (but with red), but I didn't want to ruin my headlights if I didn't have a backup pair...
