Jim from Rogue did it for me. He did the scoop for the GD's too, I think. Not sure if he is around these boards anymore, but his craftsmanship is top notch. JDP does a lot for the fits, but quality is not quite up to par. (No slam on JDP either).

I'd like to get some nice looking retro's like you have, myself... slowly but surely. :-D

Wheels look nice and lugs set it off very well. You're on an awesome path with this build.

Strange... maybe it's just the angles... but it looks like your wheels sit deeper into the car than my RPF1 (16x7 +43)... or at least the tires do.

Thanks! I neglected it for a while. Still have a ways to go.

Probably so. Being lower probably adds to the appearance of being deeper in. I still haven't added the spacer on the rear, but as it stands, it's only about a pointer finger inside the fender. What's your tire spec?

I'm on Swift springs.

New camera came in this week, so I took her out to the lake. Have a couple of new parts put on. Hoping to get them on before IA this weekend.

Is that antenna for AM/FM? I thought they were XM only and the AM/FM were in the glass.

I'd like to get one when I repaint my roof in a few weeks if it's AM/FM.

It is just xm.

A simple Nikon D3100. I'm just starting out, so I figure I'd start out with a nice, yet easy to get to know camera.

Not sure about it quite yet. Contemplating roof options in combination with the antenna. If I leave the roof alone, I'm going to want to get it paint matched SSM. So we'll see.

Too bad that antenna is XM only. It would save some money on the shark fin conversion if it fits right...let us know.

Has been a while since I updated, but I have made quite a few changes and ordered even more parts.

Here's what came in today...

And I bought these for it. Drilled one out so that the sensor will fit in.

And they go together like this!

And this will really make it go vroom...

Thanks, man. I'm going to try and get it all on today, but am feeling a little bit under the weather. So we'll see.

Your SSM is looking better than ever... just trying to keep up with all you guys!
