It is a RioCar 20gb MP3 headunit. You can customize the graphics, so I figured, what better then a nice Lightning logo!

Heheh, there is one other place I'm going to try to convert a panning image picture of my truck, but I'm not sure if it'll look good yet, as the screen only has 4 colors.

Are those Stans shocks?

I have a set of his shocks comming next week, I can't wait to get my truck back to try out the new shocks.

Are you installing all four shocks? I got a set for the rear, but haven't thought about putting them in the front.

Problem: It has auxiliary ports and you can buy an optional radio tuner, but yeah, dosn't support changers out of the box. I'm actually hooking it into my Alpine system, so I'll still have those cd players, but with 20gbs, theres not much stopping me from copying all my CD's to it. I didn't want just a MP3 compatible CD deck for two reasons, 1: this is 20gb, thats 50ish-CD's worth, no car changer is that big. and 2: The idea of scrolling through 200-300 tracks on a CD headunit for my songs would drive me nuts, with the RioCar, I can setup playlists on my PC or the unit itself and be done with it.

Gator: I'd imagine, I'm sure they didn't have the 100+ wrenches in stock that we ordered when that link went up. Heheh.

EvilGuy: I made it, I'll email it to you when I get home later.

Don/99svtlightning: Yeah, these are Stan's... I got four because of autox/road-racing, I'd imagine for drag, the rears are the important ones.

Yeah, this will make changing to race tires MUCH easier.

Strange though, I busted a Husky 21mm socket doing my tires last time...split it right along the side.

No and I am a little pissed, Jim told me I would have it back before the superbowl.

I have all sorts of parts building up too, Roush front springs, Sals Fast air, Bogart rims, Hoosier tires, and 4 of Stans shocks on the way.

That head unit with the lighning logo is badass!!
