yeah, good stuff! I like how the chrome/clear Symnic lenses look in real life... I couldnt picture them before, but they are actually pretty classy. If euros fall throuhg, I might grab the Symnic ones.

Wow, man. I can definitely appreciate the amount of work you put into this. I especially like the subwoofer installation. I considered doing the same thing as you, but I instead went with an infinite baffle setup. But your setup takes such little space. Out of curiousity, why didn't you mount the sub inside of the first aid kit compartment rather than having it show through the lid? Do you plan on putting grille cloth over it or anything?
Again, fantastic job. That is a ton of work, and you did it in such a way that it appreciates the original design of the car while looking custom. Congrats!!

Very creative guy I see. Does the rear shelf rattle? I am hating on the trunk shaving as it looks too obvious that something is missing. I might steal your idea and mount a PS2 with wireless controls under the passenger dash. And wow I'm gonna get back to the look everybody and went away from, a Gen 1 AMG front bumper and sticking with the two tone look.

No, LOL. That was my ghettoness trying to escape and put LV on my sun roof cover. I'm going to redo the whole interior and make it look nice and clean.
By the way polobai, the box under the package tray how is it sealed to the subwoofer? I have an idea but maybe i'm wrong.

Thanks for all the comments guys, i really appreciate it. I chose to put the sub visable like that becuase i wanted to see it, plus i was afriad if it was under the first aid tray, the tray would rattle. How the sub is secured is basically it is in a seald box, and the box is mounted through a hole cut in the rear parcel shelf-and the first aid cover just sits over it. No rattling at all, and I am satisfied with it.

And for the questions regarding the lenses, I like them alot, but I have HIDS in them-they are waay brighter than before, but since these lenses are not made for HIDS, i dont have a notable cutoff point-it just scatters everywhere. Still better lighting than the halogens in my opinion, but can be blinding to some oncomming drivers.

The front bumper is the Wald EX add on-i like it alot-doesnt make the front lower, even though i would like it a tad lower-and finsihes the look of the front of the car in my opinion. I like the rear lip too, but cant seem to source just that-may have to go custom. Thanks for all the opinions of the trunk, good or bad-i can appreciate that. I like the look, and it makes the back look ultra clean to me. Thanks for all the inputs from you guys! :thumbs up:

Gorgeous!
Do you happen to have a list of upgrades and their prices? I particularly like:
1. Your headlights
2. The TV Visor
3. Steering Wheel Cover
4. Shift Knob
Looks great - awesome creativity on the DVD/Changer Location. I too have two 10" subs (Elementla Design) and want to mount one fo them in the First Aid pouch. Been looking at it for months wondering exactly the best way.

I tried to put 8" wide screens into my stock visors and it dosen't look that good since the vanity mirror is too wide. I only put one on the passanger side because i had both driver and passanger and the cops DO NOT like you to drive with a tv in your face you know..
The LV I bought from a source in china but i got 15 yards for like $350 + 50 for shipping but i sold it by the yard on ebay for like $50 each and used what was left for the sun roof, A B C Pillars. I will be using ultra suede on the interior now.
By the way i'm going to mount a 10" JL W1v2 Sub on my rear deck.

Thanks guys, sorry i didnt specify, i got the lip on ebay-its the wald ex style-but i love the quality, fit and finish. I got a replica lip for my supra a while back, and this is FAR superior in my opinion. Probably the nicest replica part ive seen. The other parts werent too much-the shift knob was like 130 with the adaptor, steering wheel cover was like 70-80, sunvisor tvs(i got 2-have the other in my other car) for like $250, the headlights were like $200,etc. Thanks for the comments!
