A few new mods

Well, its been a while so I thought Id post some pics of the new mods Ive done. First off the roush grille. I really like this over my old grille. I think it gives it a much cleaner look.

Second is my new pads and rotors. I went with the Power Slot Cryo Rotors. It took about 2 and a half months to get in, but it was worth it. I went with the Akebono pads. They are supposed to be no dusting, hopefully thats true. Overall the rotors look much better than stock and once I paint my calipers this week, I think the wheel area should look pretty good.

Third off is the new DVD/CD player. I forget what I got. Pioneer 700 something. Anyways I like it. Nice graphics with a ton of different sound settings.


And last, is the custom storage box I made. I will soon be adding a carpeted gun holder, which will hold 2 of my shotguns. Took a few hours to make. Shapped the wood and carpeted it. Used JB welder to hold it in place.

I got the rotors to counter the pads. The pads arent supposed to stop as well as others due to the low break dusts. But after taking it on my second drive. I dunno. They seem to stop a hell of a lot better than stock.
