Doesn't appear that I posted a pic of the headliner and visors. Oops. Also, I threw in a tach for the fun of it. Rolled her on the scale and she's heavier than I thought at 5240.

He has a build thread for it.
Short answer, yes. However being Cali he has some way stupid and WAY wacky rules to make it so.

Yeah, I thought detachable clips in excess of so many rounds were illegal there. I am not up to date on their gun laws though.

It's screwy. If they have a "featureless gun" they can have high capacity mags but in his case I'm betting that's a 30 rounder converted to 10 rounds.
AJM pretty much nailed it. We can have full on AR's as long as they have a bullet button. A BB replaces the mag release button to where it takes a pointy tool pressed into a very small hole to release the mag. A ball point pen, nail, and a .223 round works just fine as the tool. With this feature in place, the gun is legally considered a "fixed" magazine weapon. You can basically do whatever you want with a fixed magazine gun. As far as the mag, as AJM said, it's a 10, looks like a 30. No matter what gun, or configuration, it is illegal to have a capacity of more than 10 rounds.
I gotcha. We don't have those kind of restrictions here. I have 30, 40, 50, and even a 75 round (it's a piece of ****) mags for my AK-47, and everyone I know with an AR-15 has 30 or 40 round magazines.

Sure, rub it in....
Oh, I am not trying to be a dick, I think gun laws are too restrictive here. I just didn't realize you could have an AR there. It makes more sense now though.

On a topless K5? I don't mind attracting some attention, but not the black & white with the fancy light on top type of attention.you should make a custom matching mount for it!!!!! that would be sick! wrap it in matching black leather. just sayin
Dang- All my guns are illegal! - And my rig is not really street legal too!

Hey man I thought I would let you know cuz you said you can never keep your engine cool.

I bought one of these when I did the engine because I wanted to make sure it was runnin cool as possible during break in. But afterwards I found it was impossible to get the thing up to 180* most likely from the bypass holes in it. So I replaced it with a normal one and now she sits right at 180* whether im jammin on it, or city drivin. Maybe its worth a shot if ya still got problems.

Love the Headliner pattern. Did you do it yourself or purchase it? Either way I would like to know the specifics, I.E. where to get either material or Headliner.
