    Nice roller, I just used a hammer =) rollers take too long IMO

    Nice job on everything.

      When I started using the roller I was thinking to myself, "I should have just hired this done"

      It was a pain, but worth it in the end. I learned a lot building that roller....and using it ;)

        Picked up this thing! Woooo!





        I ordered some LED's for interior lighting and for the trunk lighting. The trunk LED's came today. I am planning on wiring in the other trunk light tomorrow. Here are some pics.



        Installed in the housing. Obviously it isn't aimed right..I took the picture for reference.



        A little pic:



        Took out the stock housing and replaced the old bulb with the new LED.





        Installed

          Saw what the current project looked like, and I just had to scroll every page to see every detail of the build...

            I raised my exhaust up today for more ground clearance. Didn't get any pics of that :( but here are some of what I did.

            Wired in a secondary trunk light and put an LED in it. Got a little setup going... iPhone speaker amplifier I made out of walnut and maple.



            Shade ;)



            Jacked up car to raise exhaust.



            My new favorite tool.



            Other trunk light in! They don't look too bright here, but at night they light up the whole trunk

                            I thought about it...I guess I'm just not a spoiler kind of guy.

                            Thanks ;)

                                Blackout tape is holding up pretty well. There's 1 spot I might have to fix...but it doesn't bug me enough yet.
