Check out this NICE CUSTOM INSTALL!!

This is pics of my Rx-8 that i recently built door panels and a box for....Figured I would post some pics to see what people think....I am trying to get my car ready for Nopi Nationals in Atlanta....

P.S. Does anyone know were to get a carbon fiber hood for decent price....I like the mint blue hood but can't find a dealer....Also if anyone knows were I could purchase the NRF Front bumper that would be great....

Let me know how you like the system!!

Pics of the rest will come once put in the car...

That is crazy. Can you still sit in it? Or is it a show-only car?

Good luck dude...I was going to try and get mine ready this year for Nopi Nationals in ATL as well but had a minor set back in my plans for the dash...although I have something very similar in the works for the door panels...I also have a replacement for the sail panel (the panel behind the mirrors) that is in the works...I am using Focals K2 Power 165 K3P's up front with the midrange and woofer in the door panel very similar to yours and putting the tweeter in the replacement sail panels that have the tweeters angled more toward the cabin. But sadly i won't make it in time for the Nopi Nationals..but I do wish you luck, you have done some outstanding work so far...if your from or know the ATL area and have gone to several shows you probably have seen some of our booth's when I owned my own shop Sound Effects and when I worked for Jimmy's Car Stereo...

That looks really nice and I'm sure it gets plenty loud but I'm sure it isn't the best for sound quality though. Please don't take that wrong. I was an installer for years and competed for much of the time so I am very picky on setups. I think the install looks great and mean nothing derogatory.

Thats cool... TO be honest with you the system does sound great but.....Not built for Sound Q Competition either....EVeryone knows kick panels are best for sound....and are much more accurate for positioning....This was built for wow fatcor.....And i understand exactly what you are saying and I appreciate the compliment..

thanks
