myKITT.de - My Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica

Today, I reveived my new exhaust system from "Cars & Stripes", which will replace my old one. Additionally, I want to replace the stainless steel exhaust pipes, that the pre-owner of my car had installed. So, I will soon have the original standard look back again.
I also ordered a panel to fit a modern radio system into the car, which has also been delivered today.

Over the past days, we removed the new carpet to lay all necessary cables into the car. We also installed outside speakers for the voice output of the alarm system. Finally, we layed the new carpet again into the car and installed the backseats.

Today I got a complete set of tan interior including seats and all plastic panels. Only the carpet and the headliner are missing. The seats will certainly be replaced by original PMD seats, but for now, they look great enough.
