********. This sucks. This just makes me feel like I'm gunna get jacked eventually. but damn those U2's were stuntin good. What stereo did you have in it? Subs, deck, amp etc....

Also, how did they get the rims off? I have those same rims and I know they have a special socket that's really thin just for those wheels. Is this common to where they could easily get one? I'm a tad confused...

Got it back on the ground with the new brakes and I started wiring up the stereo. We are going to crank the keys up a lil in the front too. Got the drivers side h/l switch, pocket and vent/piece they stole all back together. Going to wirine up the foglight harness after I found one since they cut that. Locksmith came out and fixed the ignition and it fired right up with no screwdriver this time. Hawk brakes sent me the wrong pads for the rear 2x so I just went to napa and got some ultra premium ceramic pads. I was sick of dealing with waiting on brakes. Some updates:

Yup, they got into mine by going under the door handle and creating a little hole. I still havent gotten it fixed as the repair cost more than insurance gave me. They stole my dvd deck and wiring, but at least they unplugged the harness instead of cutting the stock wiring! Left the sub and amp, smash and grab job at 7:30 in the morning after I got home from work with the alarm blaring. I have a 2 way alarm system and my wife heard the remote beeping but thought the battery was dying. I now sleep with the remote! lol I would have had no problem shooting them if I woke up and caught them.

I just used the brush on caliper paint from kragen (duplicolor?)

Thanks. Did yours sit higher in the rear with the Mcgaughys? I have drop shocks, I also need to put the spare tire on and add some subs but its lower in the front prob 1-2". Still waiting for my 2 rear esky handles also found out I have a esky roof rack on the way.

Dang I need some powerfolding mirrors to colormatch grrrr!

Taillights are from ebay :Handshake:
