Well, I already replaced the Radio, and added a backup camera. I also just swapped out the transmission fluid last week, felt pretty notchy when I got the car, and was blocking me out of first gear a little bit. Seems fixed now, or at least a million times better. Did Royal purple fluid. Also bought one of those 3 inch wind deflectors (kinda helps) that goes across the top of the windshield for when you take out the targa top. I also just got a new set of headlight lenses for it, old ones are a little foggy, even had a pro try and clean them, helped but not perfect. Ill probably do that once the stereo system is wrapped up.
I do plan on doing a "nice" build in this car, but for now, I need to be able to hear my music with the top off. So ill call this my Quick Build, until winter. Then I go all out and do a set of high end front components, ill probably do the Hertz HKS 165XLs, I have them in my SHO, and love them, then fiberglass box and amp rack and so on.
I do car audio for a living, so most of this stuff I already owned, but overall, it should work nicely for now.
Radio:
Pioneer 6.1 DVD with blutooth and HD radio. Used GMOS-04 Harness, and Metra Dash kit, and Metra antenna adapter.

Rears: I normally dont do rears, but my 4 channel is more than enough for the fronts without being bridged, so maybe later after I upgrade the fronts, ill then bridge it to just the front speakers.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/metra-12...0box&cp=1&lp=1Heres the car, When I bought it, it was plasti dipped BRIGHT orange, and while I did get a ton of thumbs up during the long drive home, it just wasnt for me. So ive been working on getting the orange out of all the little nooks and crannies. Dip Dissolver and a power washer did amazing job of getting it out of all the cracks. Hopefully I think Im done. lol
This is where I started the mock up of the amp rack, and trying to figure out how Im going to fit everything.
Little bit of carpet on the amp rack, clean up the edges and I think its good to go.
Ill get pics of all the speakers, and the radio tomorrow. Today I made the amp rack, and getting all my wiring lined out, seeing what I already have, and what I need to buy. And just getting everything straightened out for a easy install. I also did buy a set of 10inch to 6.5 adapter plates for the front doors, that I found online for the front doors. I figured for $15 id try them out. I wish they were thicker, they do seem pretty solid, but i might use them as a template and make a 2nd layer out of ABS so I can double them up, or just wait and see how they feel after mounted to the door, the speaker, and wrapped in dynamat first. lol
