aw come on, it's fun! :P

I'll be doing mine after my new clutch goes in >_< not looking forward to it again. I wish I had installed a new timing belt when I did my intake cam install.

(poke) fun? no fun is going to a nepoc meet!!:)
 
Picked up a pocket and a wiring harness this morning and got the new hu installed after dinner. Pics aren't the greatest as it is dark out now.

One thing that bothers me is I have play with the unit?! The pocket snapped right in but when I put the sleeve in and pushed out the braces(?) to help hold it secure there is still enough room for it to wiggle (why the hu appears a little lopsided). Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong? This is the first hu I put in myself so it is all new to me.

**edit**The kit is the Metra 88-00-9000 (pocket).

**double edit**Well after searching it seems as though the MSP pocket is the way to go.....still entertaining ideas as those are expensive and I just paid $20 for the metra pocket.

pockets suck....you should of just bought a whole dash kit....i had a pocket before when i had my old panasonic HU...i just recently bought a new Hua Pioneer Premier....and i got a whole dash kit this time....a scosche one...and man...its so much more stronger and supportive than a pocket....

i would suggest you buy one of those instead of another poocket but that IMO.
 
Great pic Josh!!! Did you get the entire kit or just the pocket? I didn't realize the two were different. I specified that I wanted a pocket and not some filler piece and the guy gave me the pocket only.

Today I installed my Rockblocker fog light protection! Easy install and that $hit is thick! A lot darker than I thought, will have to see what it does to the light output.

30k miles... OMG

I was in a P5 with 23k miles over the weekend. I wanted to take a s*** on the seat just so that it could stop being so nice and new :P

it was an early 02 model too! my 02.5 has over 78k miles >_<

Same reaction I had when I installed my rockblocker kit :P

Just installed some 8500K fog lights and also some blue LED turning signals on the front. I also cut out the flying "M" and just made it the M. Post pics tonight.
