Sorry for grammar mistakes I did this on the go.
These rigs sound awesome when unshackled from the stock sound. I went with 6" component morel speakers in the front doors and 6x9 in the rear. I also am running a Digital designs 8" sub in the back with a sound stream amp tucked away in the rear panels. Double Din kenwood Powers it all. It's a lot of work to put it in my friends sound shop took all day to do mine and then I had to go back and tweak it later. Worth it though...

I'm having a shop do everything. The bass is pretty intense on some dubstep. I'm afraid the windows are going to shatter

I've been looking into doing this as well. Did you leave the door panels on the car? Or did you take them off to wrap them?

Took care of a couple of maintenance items:

Drain and refill the MT oil at 47k miles. The original was still in good shape, looked clean/clear. I'm trying some Redline MTL for the next several thousand.

Performed the two-year brake fluid flush, and reset the service light. I used my BavAuto bleeder for the first time, made it a very easy, one-person job.

Swapped on my summer wheels/tires while I was at it.

Of course, it's now snowing today...welcome to March in Missouri!

I was going to the the same but it's been torrentially raining with a chance of killer potholes so I opted to take the truck.

I debadged mine this weekend too. Initially I left the S on there, but after about 30 minutes of looking at it I decided to remove the S as well. Looks good either way though!

I can't decide whether to debadge my "Justa" or just add an extra O to make it a COOOPER.

Added the Third Brake Light Pulsar from Coupe Concepts and saw some very strange reactions in my rear view mirror when I hit the brakes!
