Hello, you have another new member... ME! I just got my marauder the other week and have been glued to this site ever since. I am in South Carolina and the car came from Texas, I got it off Ebay-----> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270146278086&rd=1
The car looks better in person and the interior is immaculate! There is a couple things I would like to do, the first is the gods heads, is CAR Motorsports the best place to get those? Also I would like to get the dash trim with the factory clock, any ideas? The stock radio had to go, the tuner didn't work anyway so thats way I want the clock, I had to install my empeg (look at www.riocar.org (http://www.riocar.org) if you don't know what it is) because ALL my music is in there. Oh well have to go for now but I will be back.

Welcome!
I got the Car Motorsports GH tail and steeringwheel emblems - they are awesome; definately enhances the ride. Check out the options for the front grill - I've received so many complements re Zack's badgeless grill; a perfect match ...should have been like that from the factory! :D

Wow thanks for all the comments. I am in Newberry, SC I don't like it here but thats where I am. Yep th MM runs like new it was a one owner and the guy had to take very good care of it. I will have to post some pictures of it when I get a chance. Any ideas where I could find the dash trim with the factory clock in it? I noticed some different looking gods heads in the forums who all makes them?

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my MM and the sirius install. I got a cheap sirius receiver and changed the backlight from yellow to green to match the MM dash it is not exact but close. I also took the 5 volt regulator out of the plug that came with the sirius radio and put it in a small project box to better fit in the dash. I then made a plastic spacer to fill in around the sirius receiver. The trick was to make the marauder logo on the empeg mp3 player, when you start the car it spells out M..A..R..A..U..D..E..R . Check out the pics.

Conglatulations! and Welcome!
You got a great deal, also. I found mine for $10,500 with 99K on it. You're going to love it, enjoy!
If the front tires are still good, you may want to align it to the specs on this board, otherwise they will wear out on the inside.

LOL... for more info about the player goto www.riocar.org (http://www.riocar.org) basically I had to make about 20 or so frames in greyscale and save it as a animated gif then upload it to the player, the animated gif looks like this http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/empeguser/final.gif but alot bigger
on the player. Oh, the steering wheel controls do operate the player also thanks to the SWI-X. I have over 6000 tracks in the player plus the sirius and the tuner.

Check front and rear tire size on the car, against the specs printed inside your gas filler door. Welcome.

Hey great idea!!
Check front and rear tire size on the car, against the specs printed inside your gas filler door. Welcome.Yep, I actually was reading the forum every day before I got the car and that was one of the first things I checked. The front tires are the wrong size, it seems they were bought right before I got the car as the sales slip was still in the glovebox for them. They are michelins and they are 245-50-18 they have good tread and from the mileage when the were installed they have not worn bad or uneven. The back tire are the correct ones and also have good tread.
