Hey man, I had to go a different way home tonight. I'll check the name of the store on my way into work tomorrow.

I think I found the place you were talking about. Sound Station & Security, you said its off Glenwood? If so, I called and asked for a quote to install the Viper 9701 alarm, and he said $200-$250 which is including the bypass module that is needed. So, if I plan on getting my Viper alarm, I'll be saving $100 getting it installed there than with BestBuy.

yes there is; what I was referring him to was my actual dash, not instrument cluster. I painted half of it black as well as the door panel inserts.

Yup, that's it. http://www.soundstationsecurity.net/

I wonder if they'd give you a discount on installation if you bought the alarm from them too.

Good idea I should ask, wonder if they'd give me a military discount as well.

They might. If you find out, let me know. I've been thinking about getting the Viper alarm/remote start package myself.

I just sent them an email. One play in Raleigh, I think it was Audio Express, but they said it would cost $575 for alarm+remote start and installation. So far I can get the alarm for $260 with free S&H and installed at SoundStation for $200-$250, and it would still be cheaper for me. So, now I'm just waiting for SoundStation to reply back to my email.

Edit: So, now SoundStation is telling me if I buy the unit from them and get it installed it would cost me around $700. I then asked how much it would be if I bought the unit and they did the install + bypass module and they said I'd only be saving $50-$60. BestBuy does the install for $650, so now I just gotta decide what I'm going to do.

Henry's will do a true dual exhaust with 2 SISO flowmaster 40s (or I guess you could bring in your own mufflers and save a few bucks), X-pipe and tips, everything welded, for $375.

i say at least a 2/4 drop, i would shoot more for 4/6. get some black 20"s with a chrome lip.

molded roll pan, Harley heads if you are lucky enough to find them, but lightning heads will look great. smoke your factory tails or buy an extra set and smoke them, just in case. swap your valence and grill out, let patman make you a grill or get an L grill, and swap in an stx valance, unless your truck is an stx. you could also look at the 4WD valance.

hes basically already got harley heads minus the amber reflector on the bottom since he has an stx. and already has an stx valence. i do agree though a patman grill would be sweet.

on a side not to chris04v6 - finally got some xlt mirrors on the truck haha

Okay, well on the dynomax website that's all they say for the 'dealers'. I'll look into the patman grill.

Is this the Dynomax Bullet? Dynomax site calls it the Dynomax Race Bullet.
