The yellow top is a deep cycle battery as well as a starting battery.

The reason its good for audio and accessories is that the battery is made to be drained and then refilled numerous times. It holds the charge for a very long time and has no issues when starting.

The yellow top is perfect if you play your set up with the car OFF for long periods of time.

Redtop is a starting battery, its made to be stored for long times without having any issues. Its made to have a high CCA in all temps. The redtop also has a large storage capacity and will work for audio setups also.

Don't you love the seats?? I love that I can pump them up like sneakers when I wanna go hit some corners and plant myself, then deflate them when its a relaxing dinner and a movie night. Love this car so much.. Best part is, my roommate is a rather heavy, out of shape guy and says my seats bolster dig into his side so I know I can leave it in the garage and never think twice lol.

Kenny car looks amazing you should check out my garage albums uploaded some new photos. Also on the battery thing. This is what I've come across. Napa brand battery have better reviews and are cheaper amongst a few other brands... I did a lot of research on this.. I to was under the impression that yellow tops are the best on the market but to much negative reviews for me. apparently there are a lot of issues with yellow top and red tops... many bad reviews saying there over rated over priced... went completely bad in 1 year etc.... I got the most expensive one from Napa which had amazing reviews and from some articles I was reading. And upgraded my alternator which is a little over kill but now I have the DC 270amp alt. Running a jl w7 13.5 with hifonics Brutus 2200watt d block amp.

Ni-i-i-ice. You get a big thumbsup for that shot.

I suppose I'll find out tomorrow how this looks in person.

Some impressions just from this picture: I didn't realize you had a cobalt blue tint to your fogs, which accents nicely with your sideview mirrors. That is, assuming what I'm seeing is what it is. If not, maybe something to consider?

The headlights look fantastic with that wrap. And the wrap itself looks great. Love that matte look.

IPL chrome trim with the chrome border on the midnight grille... very nice. If you were ever thinking of switching that up, I'd say don't. It's a keeper, IMO.

Front splitter... meh. Not a fan, but it fits your setup well.

Wheels, calipers and rotors are sweet. Matte silver with the matte wrap is a freaking Delicious combo.

Red-brackets to the FSTB and other red bits... meh. Nothing against red, per se. Just not on your car. I'd like to see you take that light cobalt blue work its way into the engine bay.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Thanks everyone!!

Roch: I never thought about taking the blue theme into my engine bay... hmmm idk why it never occurred to me. I guess it all started when I got the red Stillen grounding kit and i just took it from there. Thanks for all the constructive criticism! Thanks to you i got rid of that Infiniti rear license plate bracket and switched it out with the cheapo one from Walmart like you suggested lol. I take a lot of the things you say into consideration it just sucks i cant get it all done now in time for tomorrow but now you have me thinking for the future!

Here's a tip: pick up a spray can of basic satin or matte black for plastic surfaces. Something like Krylon Fusion for Plastic. Get rid of that yellow loop.
