Sweet, you work out of a shop?

Ha found it myself on my iPhone! And nice...but I don't like the suede trim piece on the 8120. It would look so much better in CF. What is that tweeter on the left door panel? Trunk and sub enclosed look awesome though!! I love those cars!!

Where is your shop? Whats its called?

 

[LaserRed38 10+ year member]

Yeah I saw in his thread. Other people mentioned it too. I hope he has it redone in CF hah.

the pictures dont do it justice, it really does not bad- the guages top cover is covered in it also(factory) so it does not look out of place.

Hah I'm sure. Yeah I've seen how all the other Alcantara ties in. I just don't like how it now looks so square in a round spot and the suede around the HU draws attention to it. Not knocking your workmanship though. Just saying I would have done it different. As long as the customer is all that matters!

Very nice work. I'm impressed by the attention to detail.

What size enclosure is that? I have been thinking about trying a footwell box. I looked at the JL and also the Memphis S class woofers. How is the sound? I thought the Memphis had a little more bass but all of this might just have been the ported box they had it in.
