looks nice.. I love diy fiberglass work.

this is my friends setup in his delsol that I designed... but since our schedules didn't match up, he had someone else do it for him

Both look pretty interesting... have you considered removing the plastics instead and going for full fiberglass, or were you trying to leave the interior as intact as possible?

I opted for a subwoofer box behind the seats. Here's what my buddy did for me:

i give you credit for DIY but i see one problem

Those compartments were able to be locked and i liked to park with the targa top off and was able to lock anything i had lying around away so not to get stolen.

but non-the-less for doin it yourself

Ill give you credit for the originality of the idea, and the good craftsman ship that you've put into it. Personally I would not put it in my car because I like the stock look. Al tho that does look nice IMO.

hmmm... from the looks of that first fiberglass mold you have finished... if you look directly over it... its almost as if it doesn't go the same angle as the bottom of the back panel... so when/if someone leans the seat back they are going to crush the fiberglass portion of the speaker mold. Or thats what it looks like anyway. be careful just in case. are you going to wrap those in vinyl or paint them? I found that paint, even if sanded, doesn't stick at all to that back panel. So good luck with that too.

looks good. 6x9's firing upwards may not sound good in the cabin though...

Hey genius, there's a n2o gauge that stays at empty because the NAWZ setup is only for show...

The Autometer AFR gauge isn't wideband, so it's practically useless...

And with an EVC in the dash (with pressure in digital), it makes the boost gauge pointless too. So it's all really only for show.

I haven't crashed yet. But thanks for proving once again that H-T is full of ignorant expletive h8ers!

BTW, I'm liking the other setups I've seen. I know that with mine, the seat doesn't go quite as far back, but I'm short so I don't care. I'd like to see how the project turns out!

nice setup, keep us posted

Depiste contrary belief, I liked ALL the other setups that people have put pictures of up, u wouldn't see me driving around w/ a nitrous bottle if it wasn't for use...but it's more of a show car than anything (or so it seems) so it's aight I guess

Actually it's definately okay if it pisses some people on H-T off O.o

Boost + Nitrous = 2 Fast 2 Furious for me

If anything, I'd just go for a n2o-cooler setup. But I'm ok for now.
