Lookin clean. Good find for 160,think I paid near $500 for a new pro comp set back in 02'.When I set them in the original projecting panel, I trimmed & re plastic welded the base where it attaches to dash so it wasn't slightly pointing down. Still had a functioning vent with mine, which was a pain to build.
Course I had to get bored with it later & set them into the dash.

ok so a few little updates, its been freezing so i havnt been working much on the camino but i laid down a nice final coat on bondo on the bed rail on the pass side, the other side is done and pained along with the tailgate.
but ive really been working on getting my bags setup. LAXrated hooked me up with a great deal and boatshoes has been helping me out a ton with my annoying questions. but here are some pics
relay hooked up and water seperator
ok so it came with a big *ss controller for like jumping and sh*t but i really dont need that i just need 2 switches, front up and down and rear up and down. so i made a panel and got a guage for the tank (might add more later) but i was going to mount it where my center vents are since i took out the heater box. it will be wrapped in vynl
