nice, all look good! except for maybe the hole your hacked into the licence plate holder

 

I like the Red Vent Mod that you did on the speakers!

 

lol yeah...I did all those mods with nothing but a cordless drill with relatively small bits. I really could have benefited from a dremel, larger bits, and a few other tools.

I figure I can find some sort of rubber grommet to stick in there though.




Thanks! It turned out pretty good

 

very nice and rather cheap!
