Welcome to Autopia! You have a very clean car, good job keeping it that way!
Just something I noticed since I`m a stereo guy too (check out my Garage) is that you might want to upgrade your power and ground cable for your amplifier. For 1000 watts, I`d say that you should be using at *least* an 8 gauge wire, if not bigger, even if the amp is underrated. Most 1000 watt amps require 4 gauge or larger. Like I said, just something I noticed. You might actually get a lot more out of your amp this way, and it will be safer too.
You mentioned that there`s more to come, so I`m sure you have some pretty big plans. Can`t wait to see them!

I noticed that too. Looks like its hooked up with 12 or 14 awg now. IIRC, those lanazars are overrated, but I think they still do somehting like 600+. I`d pick up some 4 awg if I were you, but 8 would prbably do.

Yes, polished the stock chrome with shining monkey wheel cleaner and the rubber with SM tire shine.
