Smile The install has begun *PIC ADDED!*

Well after months of reading, piecing together and slacking I am finally dropping off my car tomorrow to get ripped apart. An early thanks to everyone who answered my random questions.

Here is the goods (pics will be posted in this thread when the install is completed, which should be this weekend.)

Ride:
'04 Coupe

Carputer (to be mounted in the passenger side upper cubby hole)
EPIA SP13000G Mini-ITX Motherboard
C134 Mini-ITX Case
M2-ATX 160W Intelligent DC-DC PSU
Low Profile 512MB DDR PC3200 RAM
Highly reliable Seagate 40GB 2.5-inch ATA-100 EE25 Automotive
StreetDeck North America Software with Development tools
SWI-X Universal Steering Wheel Audio Control Interface
USB-UIRT (Universal Infrared Receiver/Transmitter)
USB GPS
USB Sirius
Backup Camera
Lilliput 7" VGA Widescreen Touchscreen 629GL-70NP
Bluetooth* (still reading around on this one)
Headunit* (as of now I am bypassing it, but I am fearing random pc issues which would basically take down my whole stereo so I am now thinking about tucking away a HU somewhere in there)

Audio
(2) 4080enclosures
(2) JJ Audio 10w6v2
JL Audio ZR650-CSi
JL Audio 1000/1
JL Audio 300/2
JL Audio RBC-1 Remote Bass Control

Rims
Currently have 20" Maya STM's which are being replaced with custom color matched 2 toned 20" Asanti 147's. They finally came in after 5+ weeks of waiting (they look amazing, well worth the wait), I wanted to put them on this weekend but decided to get the inside finished first.

It just so happen the 147s just came in as I was talking to my buddy who owns a shop. Very nice rims but they were all chrome so it looked a little to "bling" for my taste. Thats when I had the 2 tone idea come into mind because they are setup perfect for a 2 tone. I had no idea how they were going to look but when they finally came in i was very happy with the result well worth the wait. The 4" lip on the back looks sick to. Hopefully I have have pics up this weekend.

Same company but different camera. Looks like they've updated it a little. I've had mine for a couple years now and the quality is great. I get a little bit of interference at night but not much. Still gives a great picture.
