Got all the windows tinted with 15% tint with lifetime warranty. Then got a Safari snorkel fitted & a K&N air filter then replaced the whole exhaust system with a red back 2.5 inch system with extractors & turbo muffler gave it a nice note.Got a good deal on tinted weather shields & bonnet protector.Then i replaced the dummy tail lights for a set of working ones & wired them up & the LED reverse light replaced all the interior lights with Led modules done a Mod so the map light come on with the other interior lights but when the doors closed you can still use them as map lights fitted a led light in the glove box with a push button switch so comes on when you open it had some spare Leds so fitted a set under the dash as fott well lights & wired them up the the interior lights replaced the original stereo for a 7inch full multimedia gps dvd touch screen witch i wired & fitted dual reverse cams through a switch replaced all speakers for rockford fosgate fronts are 6.5 inch comp spec splits & custom fitted a set of 6x9 in the back barn doors running of a boss 4 channel amp mounted under the passenger seat then i have a set of 6.5 inch 3 ways in the center doors & they run of the head deck in the back i mounted in the rear right a JBL 1800 watt mono block which runs a set of dual core liquid cooled 10 inch JBL subs in a band pass box gives out a nice crisp sound & is connected with a quick disconnect clip so i can remove the subs with out undoing any wires comes in very handy.Fitted a GME TX 4600 uhf with a 6.5db booster & stainless whip.
