      Are you sure you want to be firing your sub directly at your amp. Can't be good for amp.

      Otherwise clean chit mang.

        Love the audio install. The rims look great too. The side skirts... don't like them at all.

          Nice Ride! How did you do you skirts and where did you buy the materials. Thanks Man

              I definately like what you've done to the car. That amp install is sick! Great job on the fiberglass pieces! I may have to attempt some fiberglass work this summer. Good job!

                  Yeah, you likely have around 1" of bump travel with the Bilsteins. You'll grow sick of it soon enough.

                  The interior setup all around looks awesome.

                    All the fiberglass pieces were made out of glass "cloth" not "chop". Chop is the cheap crap that most "kits" are made from, and it cracks and breaks really easily. Cloth is very strong and is what true "fiberglass" pieces are made with. The resin was a 30 min. set resin, you can find the materials locally just about anywhere (home improvement stores, auto part store...), but a good place to get high quality stuff is fromwww.fibreglast.com. DO NOT USE CHOP/MAT by its self.

                    :? You mean with the seat folded up? If so, I don't "crank it" with the seat up, (not enough air space for the sub to fire properly), as for the amp being damaged, not a chance, this isn't a cheap "run of the mill" amp, do some research on the earlier model Orion stuff....they're TANKS ;)

                    Thanks to everyone with the advice on dampers, if something goes wrong with these, I will try the Konis. That is one of the reasons I went with camber plates, for the added travel. How far in do the Bilsteins compress, I have right at about 4" of the fatter chrome tube left exposed.

                    dont like the skirts
                    What about them don't you like? Just curious.
                    I made them as clean as I could come up with, not curvy enough? I hate curvy side skirts. But any how, I think they match the lines pretty good, I wanted to continue the line of the lip around to the side (they're about 1" higher than the lip from the ground), I do still need to paint the rear bottom piece silver to match.

                      They are just way too plain. They look like a 2x4 was added to the side of the car. You did a great job fabbing them though.

                        said it when you originally posted your interior that the fold down rear seat is the fucking coolest thing ever. I am totally jealous of that.

                          very nice wheels, skirts are OK, i guess they are better then nothing, but the fact that u MADE them makes it pretty cool. interior is just awesome, i have to agree with rob on the being jealous of that fold down rear seat... how about a fold down rear seat DIY? ;)
