Nice! I can always appreciate the skill and craftsmanship it takes to make something 'your own'.

I would take the two decals off the front windshield, other than that I love the car. Very creative and nicely executed!

I'd say the green is out there, meaning not my taste, but other than that...SWEET!!!

Wish I could do those molded in speakers in my doors.

The decals on the window were purely just for the show as i won best innovation award and top 20 cars of the show they are both off now.

Thanks for the kind comments

I will try and do a mods list but it will be long ha ha.

I love it man. The green is sick for a show car. Looks good with the shaved front and rear. Get some better shots up!

Hmmm that rear sub is in an interesting position. Is that just to blow your rear window out on command?

Very nice.
The basketball in the rear is not my cup of tea, but I really like everything else. The smoothed out dash and relocated tach/speedo is very cool. I'm interested in what you did to the gas cap.

The molded-in rear bumper is pretty slick. I've seen the molded front bumper a number of times, but the rear is novel. I'm really diggin' the interior door panels with the speaker pods. If those could be done in carbon fiber, you could put me on the "buy" list. What's the big ball in the boot area for?

That's pretty awesome. If I lived closer to you I might come to you for my interior. The green and white look really good together.

The sub box did end up a bit wild the reason behind it being so large is the motorization and engineering inside it the box slides out of the boot about 2 ft and continuosl rotates, again just to show what can be acheived my clinets go alot further than minis and i appreciate int he real world probabyl n one ele with a mini would want this kind of setup. The subs are only a pair of 8s,

Thanks as explained i knew the install would not have that much effect on majority of average drivers it's purely to explain if this can be acheived your avergae install can be done without any poblems.

The gas cap i off a new audi TT the lines are really similar to the cooper s cap but its flush fitting i think it works better than the stock one.
