I used plasti-kote blue candy apple/metal flake #301, took a while. If you decide to paint yours make sure you use an adhesion promoter and let it dry for a while otherwise it will chip and flake very easily.

I just installed the blue neon underbody kit, I showed my car with Xtreme imports car club VA Beach at battle of the imports this weekend outside of richmond. I will be putting some pics of my car with the neons up soon.

To answer a lot of questions:

The playstation2 is mounted on a carpeted sheet of mdf, like a shelf below the glove box with enough room for the passengers seat.

The LCDs are made by MA audio, the quality is great, however, the angle you look at them varys how well you can see the colors. We had to stuff the visors a little bit to get the case to mount flush. The cables were run through the side panels to a video splitter off of the playstation2 and the audio was connected to the aux input of the stereo.

Future plans:
Coilovers, sitting in my living room (180.00)
Headers/exhaust (800.00)
Octane style body kit (1000.00)
black and blue leather interior (750.00)
Memphis Subs + Xtant amp (1400.00)
MB Quart Componants (400.00)
Strobes and interior neons (200.00)
Vinyl Decals (200.00)
Total almost 5000.00
A lot of money and time, I will hopfully be showing in NOPI next year.
