I have to say it, this is the best sounding car I have ever had! I have proved to all the naysayers that you can have a competition level system and be competitive in a Convertible.
Thanks to all the guys on here that have helped me in the past with advise:
Bill Wolf
Glasswolf
Jeremy C
Joey Caldwell
Ryan from Ohio

Trebor
Mike from CarGodz
Terry (smoker)
and many more. I am very happy with the results and I will have new pictures of the install soon for your enjoyment.
next up on the agenda:
Custom 1-off wheels courtesy of Southern Motorcycle Works in Ardmore Oklahoma
18x9 up front, 18x11 rear
Nitto 555 tires all around
Custom Paint (Black upper, Silver Pearl lower with Red stripe separator ending in the Focal symbol)
Hard Top

Possibly an Art Carr Automatic
if not auto, then this: D&D Performance T-56 Magnum 6 Speed Transmission
If you are going to keep a car, may as well make it bad ass.
Mobile Audio can attest to that...well maybe not...he can't keep a car over a two month period
Sorry so long, just stoked that the next step is modification
