thanks to Ryan for the boot.. it looks amazing and a whole heap of work went in to making this.. it will eventually be re-trimmed in yellow vinyl to match the doors and the car... but blue is fine for now.. and i owe thanks to david for the stickers!.. or should he be thanking me for free advertising.. :lol:

EDIT: Apologies for the bad photos.. its getting dark here..

blue and yellow do go really well together. you could do the interior to match the boot, rather than the other way around.

LOL - I wondered if that was yours. Spotted it on the Cumberland Hwy (from memory) yesterday and thought for a sec that the Mania courtesy car had got a major makeover. :P

Looks good. :)

That's a great install - I was at Ryans just after he finished it and it's just as god now as it was then! Nice work to both of you!

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

the sound really is amazing even downsizing to a 10" sub.. the 12" didnt have enough room to breath... definately more bassy!..

Yeah I've been wondering that myself. I recently (finally) moved my 6x9's onto the rear parcel shelf and it's already sounding much better.

Next on the cards is doing something similar to SM with my 12", but I wonder how much bass I'll sacrifice by doing it. Although in the end, I don't want mega booming bass. I just want to be able to hear it so I get the entire range of frequencies that's in my music.

Either way, when we cross paths again, I'll have to bug you for a listen to the audio setup. That and it'll be good to see this install in the flesh after perving on it on the forums for so long :P
