Man I wish had a nice clean garage to work in....

Looks good

ill show you the dirt side, lol...I have a mess.

Thanks! Wrapping wasn't too hard...next up will be the trunk..going to delete the bowtie and fill in the coin slot

Are you a body guy? If so, do a quick and dirty how to - you know take pics at each step.

 

[eddiefromcali]

I'm a diy kinda guy...I got a tip from someone on the cruzetalk fb page about bondo'ing shut the coin slot and wrapping over it. I'm going to give that a shot and will post pics when I do.

 

[eddiefromcali]

did some modding...

Also got my LC2i, Audison amp, Sundown E10 sub, knukonceptz install kit and a stealth box I'll be installing today.

 

[eddiefromcali]

Got it all in and wired up. Tapped into the front left and right speakers by the hood release lever. Now I just have to set my gain and filter so I can adjust the lc2i

Heat soak has been killing me. Ebay had a nice coupon last week and jumped on that and picked up an FMIC.

 

[Blasirl]

Did you finish the trunk lid?

 

[eddiefromcali]

no, I just left the bowtie wrapped and left it at that. Im now moving forward with my audio build. Custom door sail pods, Sundown 50.4 and 1000D amps, ampere audio front stage and sundown rear.

Slapped some 15mm spacers all around.

 

[eddiefromcali]

Ported manifold and installed pcv kit. Slapped a ported throttle body on there too...hopefully it wakes it up a bit. Waiting on new gaskets to install it all.

Picked up an SS sedan steering wheel with paddle shifters...got that wired up and installed

Hey nice power and sound build. Do you mind if I ask where you got the spacers and is there any chatter on hard accel or heavy braking?

Thanks! I got them on ebay, item # 192183963860. So far I've put about 300 miles on them and no noises or any issues. They're hub and wheel centric so they dont cause any vibrations either

 

[NobleCruze]

These are pretty affordable. Thanks Eddie! Hopefully my build eta to where yours is soon.

Did you do a write up on how to get the paddle shifters to work or for that matter the whole process? I have a Camaro wheel with paddle shifters and need to plan for the install.

So you followed both to a T and had no issues?

Had to trim my air bag plastic a bit to make it fit on the steering wheel and my bag only had one connector, everything else was just as described in the how tos.

I have actually already read that, forgot about it and lost it.

Time to reread and add it to the TOC

Thanks

Now I realize why I could not find it, it was in the wrong subforum

Little audio build update...

Got my Ampere Audio components installed.

Fast rings are awesome, btw

Tweeters in custom pods, slightly on/off axis

Since I tapped into the OEM wiring, I had to make a T-Harness to avoid cutting or splicing into the OEM wiring. I used a PAC LOC, ditched the LOC part and ran 2 different size speed wire bundles to/from my Rockford Fosgate DSR1.

Unmodded PAC unit

From the HU to the DSR1, I used Install Bay 18ga OFC speedwire https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004H1KAMQ/ and from the amps to the T-Harness, I used 14ga OFC speedwire I found on ebay. Since I'm running an active setup, I had to run my own wire from the 14ga at the T-Harness to the doors for my tweeters....this is where it got a lil tricky. After soldering all my connections at the harness behind the HU, I ran Knukonceptz wire from there to the front door wiring harness junctions on driver and passenger sides. I didn't want to poke holes or snake wires around the OEM plug, so I bought the required pins for the plug and ran my wiring that way....way way way cleaner than shoving wires through.

Note 39 & 41

Other side, 39 & 41

Started tuning with the DSR1 when I ran into a good deal on a Digital Designs SS5 amp SS5 . So I'm ripping out the Sundowns and going to run a single amp. Did I mention I replaced the Audison mono with a Sundown 1000D and added a 50.4? lol

To throw another wrench at all this, I was given a set of Oncore Audio components to test. https://www.oncore.audio/on6/?p_name=ON SERIES SHOP Which means I gotta rip out all my Ampere stuff and install these. lol

 

[eddiefromcali]

Forgot to mention that I picked up a pair of these too https://www.seicane.com/car-horn-re...olet-cruze-audio-door-angle-gums-2pcs-s37tr32

Will install the Oncore tweeters on that
