The pics aren't complete, it's raining and it's kinda hard to take nice pics, so I'll have to post exterior pictures later. However ....
Friday was dent removal, I had 4 horrible dents on my passenger side from some jerk doing something (either hitting the car with something, or kicking it) so I went online and looked into paintless dent removal; the before and afters are below, WORTH EVERY PENNY. Cost me $375. No body filler, no days at the body shop - and you can't tell I ever had a dent. LOVE IT.
Before:

After:

Then - after that, it was detail time - I wasn't able to take an under the hood shot before I dropped the car off at the detailer, because I'm dumb and forgot about it but I bought the car in 07 and I had not touched under the hood until now. That is through the mukky summer, and salty muddy winters here in Minnesota - it was GROSS. Not anymore:

^^I will be taking more pictures of the interior/exterior tomorrow - I get to bring it back and get it washed again when it's nice out since it was pouring rain here today. :thumbdown:
Then finally - after detailing (with the carpets still damp...) it was off to Best Buy to have the system installed. I got a Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD, 2-10" Infinity subs and a 500w Alpine amp. I am going to be getting the 6 1/2"s and all that at a later time, but for now we just went with that. It was a $1400 investment already, and I am kinda running out of cash lol
I am extremely happy with the install ... the HU is great and there are a lot of fun options. I am kinda afraid to bypass the DVD parking brake feature though becuase of the $900 fine attached with the cops pulling you over with it :/ So I am still thinking about that one, but I am sure in a few days I will say F it and get it bypassed anyway hahah

Now she's resting in the garage becuase she's had a lot going on this weekend.
Any freakin' day now my wheels will be here ... then I'll put those on and get that strut bar I bought from Ryan installed. Woo!
