Thats A DAMN LOT OF MONEY!

It must be nice to be rich.

[s2tigger]

I'm not rich man. Don't get me wrong I make decent money, but I've been collecting this stuff and upgrading along the way since about 1995. Yeah, I'm old. :cry: 28 that is.

[rayray]

what do you drive? (sorry if you've already posted M/M/M's)
you're getting this stuff installed all at once?
how did you resist not installing them when you got it right away?

sounds like a tyte system. make sure to post pics when it's all done.

I drive a 1992 Toyota Camry LE Automatic. I'm not gonna tell you the license plate. I already had the alarm and the alternator installed a while ago. The reason that I haven't had all of the stuff installed is because I just finished getting all of the Monster Cable stuff. I wanted to upgrade my wire and electrical delivery system. I used to have all Lightening Audio, but the quality wasn't that great. Like I said, I've been collecting and upgrading stuff along the way. Back in the day I had some 8" home speaker boxes, with Pyle speakers in them, behind my seats and some Pyle tweeters sitting on my back deck running off of some crappy Pioneer AMP. My system has come a long way, obviously... I'm gonna post some pictures of my entire car when I get my RIM back (I cracked one & the replacement is on it's way), finish installing my Xenarc HID X1010 Auxiliary Low Beam Kit (it's on the way), install my Weapon-R Stage 2 RAM Air Kit (it's on the way), and get the stereo installed.

Oh man, saving up since 1995. I think it means more to you when you have to work longer and save up to buy it, makes you appreciate it more. Can't wait to see the pics.

I'd rather buy me a new car.... but thats just me...

[s2tigger]

Zeek321, yeah I'd rather get a new car too, but I didn't have the total amount of money at one time. Ya know? Isn't this board about aftermarket mods for your Camry? I agree with you 91camryDX, good things come to those who wait. I'm pretty excited about getting everything done. Don't worry I'll post some pictures once I'm all done.

[lankanprince]

Sounds good!
good luck with the install and post pics after...
Peace

My car is being done right now... I stopped by to see it and it's going very well. I bought a new battery cause the installer said that with my high-output alternator that I should match it to a larger battery. When it's all done and I can borrow a digital camera I'll post some pictures. Pretty sweet though. And only $500.00 for the install.
