Hey Dude, nice build thread. I ran across it back in the early stages, but now I see all you've been up to lately and it looks real good. I noticed the seat I loaned you in a couple pics too. Ha! Still have them just in case...

I have no idea lol! He left the head unit and the speakers, but there were no amps in the car so I never actually heard the system. I cant imagine it did, it may have been loud but the way he had the speakers mounted in the door it probably didnt sound great.
As for the alarm, I like it, mostly because it was super cheap, the keyfob looks pretty nice and it unlocks and locks the doors. Its not fancy, I just wanted something that could remotely unlock the doors. The car wont be a daily.
And, that's good to hear about the alarm. I'm thinking of buying an Encore E3 but I'm not looking forward to the wiring. Your diagram definitely helps though!

I can't believe all the headaches you had with the wiring. Did the previous owner's stereo actually sound good? Also wondering how you like the alarm system? I'm thinking about adding an alarm to mine.
Thanks!

You want to use a prep solvent that does not leave a residue. Once cleaned, scuff with a scotchbrite pad, repeat the cleaning step, tape and shoot.
The rockers can take a beating from road debris so it is a good area to shoot with a 2K automotive urethane paint. I am planning to use this product on my car:
Hot Rod Black Satin is a high quality professional 2K component auto paint with smooth flow and leveling. Delivers greater scratch resistance and durability. Satin-finish black 2K aerosol.
You might be able to find a local paint shop that sells the SprayMax 2k product line.
