Not to be a dick, but I think that car may need a shitload of body work before subs should even be considered....

he is doing a sh1t load of body work to it. He is doing everything at once i believe.

I'm lovin that eclipse... same as mine, i got my subs glassed in the rear, but it looks like my enclosure is much smaller than his is goin to be... i had to keep my trunk space available for storage

lol yes req you are pretty much the inspiration for the fiberglass box in the back.

and yes monte, it's anton's eclipse. the reason he is running white wheels is to make it a show car. the entire car's scheme is red and white. I'll try to get some pics of the inside tomorrow when i go over there and start on the box.

yes there is a chit load of body work to do on the car. that's why i am doing the box. he is doing all the body work (because of our career class he can work on it at school and get a grade on it). I am also getting paid to do the trunk so hopefully it comes out good.

I'll keep the pictures coming as soon as I take them, but with our senior english research paper being due for the next 3 weeks, I'm not sure how many i'm going to get. I know I'm going to work on it with him tomorrow for a while so more pics will be up tomorrow.

candy apple red?

house of kolor is freakin expensive

 

[skeptikal Premium Member]

it's kinda like a candy apple red but its like a burnt orange/red. It is really really flaky paint and looks great in person. He wants to have his car completely painted and all the body work done in a couple weeks so hopefully i can get pics of it when he does.

the fiberglass box is gonna be a freakin pain in the *** he wants it to completely cover the entire trunk... i got more work ahead of me than he does lol

You can. Try it. You'll like it.

On the other hand the car looks good so far, Have fun with that glass back there.

skep, in all honesty, i think you should have gone further with this, and not done a regular box for the bottom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

im not sure on how thats going to look with a square bottom like that.

would have been much more awesome if you used that back board, a floor board, and glassed the two rings facing the opposite angles (away from eachother) and stretched to the entire floor - even up the front wall a little - and put the ampracks on the front of the box on the big flat glassed area...
