Just mounted up my grill guard that I got from one of the guys here. I also repainted that god awful woodgrain radio bezel I had and it came out great! Installed a 2007 stock radio so I can listen to my iPOD, the timing of the radio was right on with re-doing my bezel, so I was able to hide all the wired to my ipod behind it all. In the next 6 months I would like to upgrade the sound system (just an amp and 4 good speakers), add an intake and exhaust so she can breath and growl better, install a couple lights in the grill guard, change out the grill itself to mesh or something.

If any of you guys know an inexpensive way to raise her up a couple inches I'd love to see her ride a little higher. I have heard bad things about leveling kits for our Daks (cuz it throws off the geometry of the front suspension or something and it wears out faster and you lose MPG's), but a friend of mine had an idea that I'm not sure would work or not. He suggested that it might work if I added bigger blocks in the rear on the springs and then add a level kit so the angles would still be the same. Sounded good and easy, but just a little to good and easy if you know what I mean. Lemme know what you guys think.
