Not my thing, but if you're happy it's all good.

Dash looks good with the screen up and not so good with it down. Cheesy star wars effect is what comes to mind...

Name plaque on the door just doesn't flow right. Maybe if the lip followed the plaque cut out better...

Yep. I threw the doors together in a day for a show. As I mentioned, next step is upholstering the lower half of the doors....including fixing the lip to match the plaques curve.

jason stake:

First off the doors are not bad, but id loose the personal naming scheme though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If that hole in the door is for the midbass’s port and you really built the door panels in an enclosure ported and tuned right that a huge bonus.

‘Would like to see build pic’s of the doors in progress if you can.

If that hole is not a port and the doors are not really a real enclosure with a tuned port then un-give yourself that bonus

The dash like others state is really good and really bad at same time

Loose those radioshack switches and lights m8

It looks kiler with the alpine in tv mode but once radio is down looks like total cheese

If you want a switch box area for yourself build a compartment in center console out of sight.

lol I picture you entering the car and flipping switches while you talk to houston at mission control, hehe

Kickpanels look great in build quality but the imaging doesnt look right if at all

The midrange isnt so bad but the tweeters are deff not angled and you want the image to be dead on with kicks and you have room there to work with all angles but you seem to have gone more for the lets install components in the kicks rather than does it sound right or should i angle the mids and tweeters at an angle toward the listenrs ears before I glass.

ampack is very neat

sub box is nice and basic but i can still see the bed sheet or whatnot you used for the mold and the box doesnt look to thick

nice build nice car but to many cheesy features

i dont think those are ports. i think they are handles to shut the door when they are up.
