Yeah, I still have those FX projectors in the garage and I still want to do the LED tail light mod , but since I'm taking the car to Japan next year, I don't want to get any **** fro it. So, I'm holding off until I get through customs and get it registered. I really don't have the money to throw at getting a second set of lights. Can't spend all my money on the car. The family needs some too, know what I mean

I have to DIY everything, I can't justify in my mind paying a shop to do something that I can do myself.

Hellz, yeah. I've been puttin' it off for so long now.

Prototyping, yeah I'll let the pros work on new body parts. I'm not even going to try that on my 30k ride.

I agree on the DIY as long as you have time. Some stuff just isn't worth it these days. I have so many hours in trying to make this greddy front bumper fit and it is still a long way from done. I expected it to fit a lot better from the start and would not have taken this project on if I had known...

Yeah that is what the site said but they were wrong. It is way, way off. I'm good with fiberglass and have over 15 hours in it already. I could go into detail but it just makes me sad... Oh well, live and learn.

Ryan (g35pinoy) had a listen today. Quote, "I can feel my hair move"

I still have to deaden it, tune it, carpet it, etc. My amp is only turned up to about 35~40% right now.

Alright guys, sorry for the delay. I finished these on Thursday just in time for the San Diego bi-weekly meet.

These were taken with my iPhone, so not the best of quality. I will post better pictures later.

Yep, everything rattles. Not to bad though. I used expanding foam on the trunk like, so that doesn't really rattle. I also used expanding foam on the deck lid as well as liquid sound deadener (eDead). It sounds so nice too. Every song I throw at it sounds good. The best part is how with certain songs it will shift my rear view mirror out of place. Moving it back is of no use, because it keeps moving it out of the way

Thanks to everyone for giving me such kind words.

I give you props man. I tried making a box less complicated than that with fiber glass and it didn't come close to looking that good. Great job!

Yes it is. I haven't measured it, but I installed my 6 inch port inversely and it doesn't hit the trunk lid. So, I'm good.
