Stereo stage 1: 90% complete

Precision Audio Head unit
Kicker DS4S dash speakers
As with the '94 I plan on ordering some Kicker 6x9s and cutting a piece of MDF to fit under the rear seat with dividers to create an under seat compartment using the seat bottom as the lid.
as far as subwoofer im going to fab a down firing box that fits under the longer passenger seat or pick up the compact box that Pioneer offers and mounting my amp for that under the drivers seat.

Here are some pics from the HID install stage;
