I'm good now. I didn't wanna wait, so I butchered your perfect woodwork. I'm gonna do wiring tomorrow, and hopefully get everything mounted. We need to head out to Ray's sometime cause now I've added carpeting to my wish list.

Some cold cathodes I wired up to a toggle switch inside the center console. They look kinda pink but they're red/orangeish in person.
It's great to be on the forum!

Well, I just posted this in my build thread, but I figured I would share it here. I built a manual hatch strut for the driverside mounts, and had to work with it a little extra because the welded nut broke off the inside of the body. Since I lack a welder and what not, I took a different approach. The passengerside strut remains, and helps lift the hatch when I go to open it, and then I lock the manual strut. So far, works like a charm, and the trim didn't need to be cut or anything.

Sure thing guys!
Here's the little adapter that powers the lights. 12v on the left side, light plugs on the right side.
The black wire goes straight to the rear of the cig lighter for ground. The red wire coming out of the blue adapter, and the yellow wire coming out of the cig lighter for power, meet back at my center console for an on/off switch.
And all I did to mount the lights was zip-tie them to any stuff i could find up above where your feet go.

got tired of not having a mount for my whip.
so Made a mount using the oem spare tire holder. pretty sturdy, Took ten minutes of sawing, and was free.
I'll get pics of it installed if anyone wants me to.
