My new Century

Post by Doughboy »

Hello friends,

I just took delivery of my new to me Century! I'm really excited for it and my plans are to just enjoy and drive it. I'll probably upgrade the speakers and that's about it. I'm on the hunt for some OEM Century stuff that it's missing. The ostrich feather duster, fender pole, maybe flag poles. I might tint the windows. I'm in Denver Colorado too.

Cheers,
Angelo

Thanks! Just got a quote for a stereo system and looks like factory sound will do for now

How much audio stuff were you thinking of changing? Just head unit, or also speakers/amps?

I want to keep the factory look. so it was speakers, 2 amps, replace the factory sub, and they were going to wiring in a switch so I can go back and forth from the factory stereo controls to the aftermarket. My phone would connect to the amp via Bluetooth.

Congratulations! :D Looking great!

Are you thinking about get the full fender pole?

What are the fendor indicators light like? My Century has fender mirrors and don't have these.
Do they make a big difference? Day vs night. Any pictures of them at in use in night?

I kind of like the lights. I don't think they make any difference than its cool. I wanted the fender mounted mirrors but I got this one for a solid price.
