Washed and waxed the burb this afternoon...what a process, but it sure does look good!! It was too late to get good pictures so these will have to do.

I almost forgot to post pics of the tweeters mounted in the sails. I initially installed them here because I didn't want to destroy the factory bose locations but I have to say the staging from this position is amazing.

I plan to stamp some grilles out to match the Bose pattern at some point. But that will have to be another day.

Got the billet bowties for Christmas and had a chance to get them installed during my time off. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm really not a fan of the white color-matched bowties, so I went with the polished billet.

They are All Sales 96108P Here is the link to the part on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/All-Sales-961...d=1419737106&sr=8-1&keywords=all+sales+96108p

The picture show a bowtie with a border but this part number does not have a border. they have another number with a border if that's what you are looking for.

I'm sure there is better quality out there but these are the same price for the set that most others are for just one. I had to modify the top of the front one with a file to get a better match than how it came, it was almost flat. I also removed the small foam square under that fits under the factory bowtie to get it set down properly.

You'll have to excuse the filthy truck...It's been raining once a week for the past month. I'm hoping to get it washed up with some of my other Christmas detailing goodies...

Cleaned up the burb this weekend. Turned out pretty good, I think.

Yep. Looks great


Thanks! Just a quick detailing to get all the road grime off...it's been raining at least once a week for a month...I have to go back and redo the windows to get the hard water spots off...

Well, I finally gathered up enough change to buy all the goodies to lower the rear. Just picked up the Belltech 23301 springs, Belltech 6651 shock extenders, and the Air Lift helper bags. I'm pretty excited to get it all and get it installed!

Just have the McGaughy's Strut Relocators to pick up and I'll be in business.

Also, (relatively) current measured heights are:
FL: 34-5/8"
RL: 36-7/8"
FR: 35"
RR: 37-3/8"

Got everything installed on the rear this past weekend. I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm still on the fence about whether to lower the front or not (Lee's working on me :))...I probably will but will wait until struts need replacing, I'm at 50K miles right now.

Here it is before:

And here it is after:
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1421082920.443644.jpg

Parts installed were:
Belltech 23301 - 2" Drop Spring Kit
Belltech 6651 - Shock Extenders
Air Lift 60742 - Helper Bags

All of these products were awesome and truly are bolt-ons (no modification required).

Here are the measurements:
FL: 34-5/8"

RL: 36-7/8"
Initial: 34-3/4"
24 Hours later: 34-1/2"

FR: 35"

RR: 37-3/8" (Stock)
Initial: 35-1/4"
24-Hours later: 35"

The stance is currently similar to a PPV.

I also want to give a huge thanks to Lee (goodinblack) for all his support and assistance through this mod. This guy is a stand-up guy!

Finally got out to my land to snap some pictures...the sun was really a little too low, I may try some more in the morning.

Here's what I got for now.
