Looks like a clean install. 
What gauge size wire & how long did you get to run from the battery to the compressor ? |

I Already had 2 gauge power comming from my battery for my old soundsystem so i just used that. Id run 4 gauge just to be on the safe side if u ever end up ruiing more than one compressor and or a small soundsystem.

usually 15 to 17 feet should be plenty. for the tire well piece ur better off tracing it with a piece of cardboard like i did to get it exactly how u want it.
Let me know if u need any more info. Whos installing ur ride ride?

A wooden baseball bat and a jack/air-ride works wonders on fenders. |

A member of the former Dubaholics named Pat used to rent out the real tool, he lives (lived) in the WI as well. Are you planning on respraying the car? From my experience it is very difficult to roll the fenders w/o damaging the paint. |
