INTERIOR: Complete color change, custom fiberglass door panels, and full length fiberglass center console. SUSPENSION: Replacing entire air system with a higher volume setup and in the process of changing over to a belt-driven compressor. STEREO: 20 speakers and nearly 4000 watts. Possibly even more to come after this, who am I fooling, there's definitely more planned.
