thats how it was, until i had some burn out. i need to order more. well, honestly i didnt do the radio since i planned on changing it eventually anyway. i should probably just go ahead and do it anyway though. the steering wheel controls are what kinda gets me. dont wanna take em apart, lol

since the car is NBM and since ive never seen it why not do a matte black manta or do the 35th anni. stripes in matte black to but now for the wheels lol i know you lost your job but if it was mine id have to do something about them wheels. ive never been a fan of them. im more of a fan of wheels that have depth rather than come out flush with the lip of the wheel other than that id get clear corners and i wouldnt paint that VHT crap just leave how they are and put em in
