Yea I had the entire car repainted. I took off every piece of trim and glass so the paint guy didn't have to mask it off and mess it up. I replaced all the lights...still waiting on new fog lights.Also repained all the satin trim around the windsheild and hatch glass.

It is alot of weight....cost alot to make this car fast now. I did all the work myself still have to build a cover for the amp rack, thats why the extra carpet is still there. The glass hasn't failed yet but im not getting full power with the wimpy lil 75amp alt.The stereo system alone is pulling 175amp's.

i ran the exact same setup in my old explorer. 6 pioneer premier subs and two US amps 150's. Now i split the system in two (b/c that is just TOOO MUCH BASS) and have half of it in my stang



the bigger the Alt the better

I ran the stock explorer for years w/o any problems though
