Default Two new Mods complete!

No pictures, but if there is interest, I can definitely provide.

Thanks to Dennis at Double D, I am the owner of an Alpine CDE-HD149BT. This was a birthday gift from my wife back in May and Dennis made the process very smooth for my wife. He also took my calls when I was stuck a couple times installing it. I went from Clarion VZ400 to the Alpine and am extremely happy that I did. It offers so much more interface than the old unit did. Thank you Dennis!

The second mod took me about an hour earlier today. I installed my new Blackwing! Haven’t been able to go out for a ride yet, but this weekend I will take her out and see how it feels.

Dennis is great to work with! The next mods, well they aren’t really mods but my HUD bezel has a corner that broke off and the window defrost grill is broken in a few places so I am going to order both of those. Since I have an AE and can’t find the shale/neutral version of those parts anywhere, I have to buy black ones. I have the SEM paint for the shale and neutral Ill get them painted and installed.

After that, a true mod will probably be a new exhaust. But with the furlough we are getting ready to begin, it might be awhile before I can afford it. Oh well, it will happen sooner or later!

Well, I for one would like to see pics of both the new mods.
What's the saying on these boards, "if there are no pics it didn't happen?"
or something like that, lol.
