MODS/ACCESSORIES for the GK

Here are pics of the cheap alternative sound deadening. It's Peel & Seal roof flashing from Lowes.
I did the backside of the outer panels, then the inside panels. I think each roll only weighs about 6 lbs or so. The stuff works awesome. I've used it on several cars in the past. No reason to waste money on the other stuff.

fender flares & rear spoiler extension should work, but those bumper valences will not as Us spec bumpers are different.
#524
I used to work at a car audio shop and while we would sell dynamite sound deadening material to customers all the employees would use that gutter liner or rubberized undercoating because it works just as well for a fraction of the price.

Yes, it is a shame Sir Mixalot designed the usdm bumpers.
I have subscribed to NJ Parts on Facebook as I am thinking of getting a body kit from them and found this little vid this morning that I think you will like especially since they have confirmed in the comments that they will ship to the US.

Take heed all, this is sound advise if you wanna save. Sadly, found about this a bit too late
from Superfly. If I were to do this all over again, it would be a visit to Lowe's!!!!![Thumb Ups](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/thumbup.gif)

im going to be tinting my windows this Satuday. Total cost is $260. that is all windows with the top strip on the front. Best quote I got in my area. thinking of doing 30% all around. ive done that with my past cars and always looked great. not too dark yet not to light.
after that, I will be getting the all weather floor mats and cargo cover. some time in the future I will get the LED interior footwell.

And the Install saga continues
Today, the install of the OEM Door Sills was accomplished. Pricey item, yes!!! ($250 shipped) That's the bad.
The good, wiring harness is complete as well as detailed instructions. Its practically "plug n play". Everything you need (other than tools) are included in the factory kit. Took me three hours but then again, am careful and don't want to break anything.

Those sills look SO good. Based on your experience, how difficult would you say the project is for a total novice? As in, someone who has never so much as plugged in a new light bulb into their car interior (up until last week, anyway :P). I'm relatively good with tools and following directions, but I just have no concept of how to rip into a car, and all things electrical, including terminology and use of random electrical tools like crimpers and wire nuts kind of elude me.
I hope to be doing this project myself soon. You can find the installation directions here http://www.bernardiparts.com/Images/...m_AII51167.pdf
#536
Definitely proceed to Jupiter Joe's link and read over and over. Over one week-end, before you make any purchase, attempt to disassemble one side (preferably the driver's side -cause that's where the plug-in is located). Once you feel comfortable with that, you know its time to make the purchase.
Here's a tip - get some plastic trim removal tools. e.g If not for anything else, doing this exercise, will at the very least, make you familiar with the location of the under-dash fuse box.
Please disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before starting any electrical related work. Use a 10mm tool to loosen battery bolt.
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Additional input: There is a Bay Area group of FFs that meet regularly. Am sure they won't mind your dropping in. They'll all be glad to help show you what to do!!!! Its basically panel and door weatherstrip removal.

Now its installed, aesthetically, it's a more worthwhile OEM accessory than realized.
One gets to see it everytime you open the door and see "Blue" Fit LED's staring at you. IMO, it does not look cheesy or cheap.
JupiterJoe. You, I, plus all the FF members are gonna continue to assist spaghetina and anyone else who needs guidance.
Good job on posting that link!!!!!!!!
