[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8653511, member: 633600"] A few months later... Hes baaaaaaack... Josh, as some of you may know, doesnt just leave things along. Hes a stage 5 swapper. This time is was the head unit, the dsp, and the tweeters. On top of that, we also blacked out the whole interior, and deadened the roof while we were in there. In some cars everything below the window line is black, and everything above is tan. In my opinion, this is just silly and cheap looking. I have not a god damn clue why any car manufacturer does this, yet almost all mainstream brands do. Heres a before. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ZeI9vcE.jpg[/IMG] First thing we did was loosen the a-pillars, remove the visors, dome light, grab handles, and b-pillars. From there we were able to slip the headliner right out of the hatch. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/RPkBdYf.jpg[/IMG] Roof deadened with SDS Tiles. Only the best. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/FUAy2WI.jpg[/IMG] From there, we used DAP weldwood landau top adhesive to secure 1" thick open cell foam supplied from Madisound over the entire roof. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/qqCGVnA.jpg[/IMG] The headliner was re-wrapped, and all plastics were done in satin black, which matched the oem door panels very well. Pictures do this ZERO justice. This is by far the best interior upgrade you can do if your car uses the colorway that he had (tan up top, black on the bottom). Its a whole new car now. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/VoASCk4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/hvgpCBj.jpg[/IMG] Even the visors were done and the oem warning labels were fully retained [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/GuQQDcr.jpg[/IMG] The Carozzerria ODR transport and processor were swapped out for a Sony RSX-GS9, and a Helix DSP Pro MK2 (which is what i told him to stick with in the first place, but josh doesnt like to listen to me.. go figure lol).
