RE: Lean & Mean
Hey Jc.
The parts are the least of the expense. Slick Cars seems to have about every electronic mod you could need for all sorts of applications. I got the 4 door, 7 channel, reserve power & door poppers & auto start.
http://www.slickcar.com/shaved-door-handles.asp
Installation was abit more than the cost of the parts. My installer is sharp on audio/alarm/etc.. and he worked the projects a good 8 hours straight. (Be sure to ground to main chassy ground & not the door panel !)
I had abit less than 1/4 of my body/paint cost go to the hood prep/install/paint. The doors; including hardware, installation, shave & paint came out costing about $600. per door.
It might have been abit less, but I'd asked him to work as much of the factory orange peel out of the clear coat as possible, before repainting. Pretty sad when the repaint has to clean up the factory work. it was worth it though.
Ohh and BTW IXLR8,
Any chance you know where to pick up a copy of that bobblehead dog, fuzzy dice for the mirror & 8 ball shift grip?? I'm lookin into finding some leopard skin pullovers for the seats. Do you think 2 inch **** is over the top for auto flooring?? I appreciate your fashion sense. Help keep me straight brother !!
