Hardware Hacks and Non-PC Mods

Lord Ned, some people actaully work on their cars in the garage...the others leave the door open while they work. Just like keypads, big secure garage doors are easy to break into if there is grease on the buttons.

I think this place has a spot for all mods. I dont think that putting a new exhaust system on your car should count, but if you made your garage door work on finger print recognition it would be welcome here.

"All Mods" -but not automobile mods? Kind of contradictory isn't that? Modding doesn't mean computer or electronic modding. It means to change something from OEM, or stock form to something else. It can be as elaborate installing a computer in a lawmower, or as simple as changing the color of a light bulb. it doesn't matter what you do, as long as something is different from stock, and you made it unique.


Now that I've said my piece, here is what I've been up to.


I've been working on modding my truck. I applied Dynamat sound deadening to the entire interior of the cab along with a new audio system.

Alpine IDA-X100 head unit.
Eclipse 5 channel amp
and Infinity speakers all around.
-I already had a kicker 10 Solobaric L5 sub.

Soooo much quieter. And the music is amazing.

I know. My dad works on it both. I was making a joke. A bad one at that.

@rendermandan: That is very righteous, and exactly what I think the others are getting at. While installing a new exhaust system is rather bland, I would be interested in seeing it if it was all hand crafted.
