Lotus Elise install

hey just wanted to share it with you guys as we all love nice cars. A customer recently brought me his lotus elise to work on. he just got it back from force fed up in denver where they put their turbo kit on it. this car is sooo amazing! elise's are very cool to begin with but this one was a whole new experience.

i didnt put a system in this one. he had an accusump put in recently routed in the cabin and i just carpeted the rear area of the car to clean it up a little for a magazine shoot he has scheduled.

If I could own two cars (one for haulin, one for sport), that would be my ideal sport car. They must fit like a glove and drive like they're on rails.

Friend of mine's college buddy bought one (actually, his wife gave it to him after she got OMFGUBER$$$$ for her contributions to a company that went from nothing to OMFGHUGE overnight). I haven't gotten to ride in it, but my roommate says it handles like a dream but is really hard to ride in for anything longer than work-to-home type drives. Hot car.

I'd like to see pics of the HU, and for you to hide the wire for the radar detector a little better

he took the hu and the speakers out to save weight, all of maybe 3-4 pounds, and the radar i didnt do. he may go with a built in sr7 with shifters, which would be much more fitting for a car like that.

honestly, no offense to anyone but that car is freaking hideous to me. I like the lines on like a Ferrari 456 better, classy look not all boubly like that thing, looks like a toy

He took out few paper speakers and a headunit when he told u to add carpet in the car?
Is that the NOS bottle behind the seats?
