Also if you go with embroidered logos on the vinyl, I'd choose colors wisely as well. The threads don't last in the sun like vinyl. At least that's my experience. I did a complete rebuild on a...

Big fan of 8" speaker investment. Can get the WS 808s on sale since they went to new Revo series. Or see if you can pick up XS650s on sale vs the 65i. IMO
