I know you guys could care less but thought id post the finished head unit install i don't need no damn dash kit :)

TOP PIC "with the gap' BOTTOM PIC "without gap" made filler panel yesterday for the top gap using a piece of plexiglas that i already had. Today i sanded it down and pop rivet on to the radio/heater control mount flush with the lip of the head unit,painted it flat black.I could have went as far as adding a coat of bondo/putty to smooth over that seem but it's good enough for me. i might add some kind of led light there or maybe custom sticker "White Lightning" or just leave it as is

I don't pay attention to those signs. If it's concealed, it's concealed. If for some long shot reason I need to use it in one of those places, you know what they say: it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Exactly. And I'll add, their "signs" don't trump your 2A rights. It IS legal to carry in these establishments. The caveat is that if they see you obviously you'll be asked to leave. You should comply immediately or you will be arrested for criminal trespass.

I like it best when the lights match the entire color of the interior.

I put in an interstate battery just now (850cca/1000ca) the old one wasn't dead but if I leave the keys in the on position without running the car that battery dies. It was a Napa gold (675cca/850ca) well under powered for what the truck requires.

I was out messing around in the shop and looked at the new DEPO fog lights I had bought and the yellow Lamin-x to wrap them.

The Lamin-x is kind of chitzy - only enough comes in the Expedition kit to cover the exposed lights in the bumper holes - not enough to wrap the entire glass light lenses.

I may do something else now 'cause that's going to bug me knowing it is like that...
