what did you make the mounting brackets for the sway bar out of? just a peice of thick steel?

I also noticed your tube grill went away. are you gonna put something else in the opeining, or just leave it for now?

Yep, i just had a scrap piece of steel laying around in the shed.

I don't know what to do with the grill...any suggestions would be helpful.

I've seen those rims sitting on a rack, and didn't really care for them. But they look really good installed on your car. Nice choice!

Good job on making your STB. Do you notice the difference in handling?

I really like the bowtie backup lights. Really nice custom touch!

I was trying to think of some ideas for your grill. But nothing original is coming to mind.

Thanks taz

I did notice a small difference in the handling. It wasn't "night and day" as some claim, but it does hold itself better in turns.

Here are some interior pics







I mounted the amp on the back of the seat so it was easy to access, but could be tucked away to hide the mess of wires.



Hard to get a clear pic in the dark. The blue lights on the floor are hooked up to the amp so they flash with the beat. It gives a sweet effect at night. I really want to get some red and blue LED's and customize the rest of the dash lights and HVAC.
