Pics of My Completely Useless Trunk!
Well, my trunk is now officially defunct of any storage space. Here's to wedging a load of Scosche wiring, Accumat, 12 CCL's, 4 x-overs & 4 distro blocks, 3 amps, 2 subs, and 1 battery in there! At least you can still see the strut tower bar... it's definitely a see-it-in-person-at-different-angles thing.
I'll take critique pretty well... let me have it!

I am having a similar installation built currently; mine's going to be all painted fiberglass. I'd be interested to compare labor costs and build time when it's done. That said, yours looks really nice. Especially the lighting. That's the only part of mine that I'm concerned won't look as good as I envisioned when I told the installer what I wanted. Is that vinyl around the subs? Leather? Speaking of ride height, I bought and installed TEIN Flex coilovers prior to this install just so I could raise the back end up if I needed to because of the weight. :D

Robert: Yep. Scosche and JBL! parts were covered under sponsorship. Don't know when I'll be able to make it down again, but the car will make it to HIN 5 Mar. I'll be at Ft. Gordon.
As for space: It will take me about 10 minutes to clear everything out of my trunk. Good luck trying to do it w/o my help! Either that, or there's my wife's car.
Keep guessing on the labor! Give me some likely $$ amounts...

Thanks for the guesses! Makes me feel really warm and fuzzy inside!
Labor cost me 5 days of toil & seclusion in my garage, lots of sweat, and a couple scrapes/cuts here and there.
Materials that went into the install (power tools, wood, mdf, plexi, vinyl, etc.. ) ran me about $500. This was my second install; the first was in my wrx... http://www.nationalcustomcarassociat...4/IMG_0203.jpg
