Do you use your car every day? Have someone local modify your stock hood like CS did to theirs.

thanks bro.... i went ahead and ordered the mdf flush mount rings already..... im gonna sell my z enclosure tomoro and after i get the money from that ill be buying some JL speakers to match my sub... im thinking of making the enclosure automotive black :tup: gonna look sleek

edit* also on the bar mounts... imma make them red :bowrofl: i was fighting it but after seeing it in the morning... i want it red LOL.... the bronze is nice but red is tits

simota1 10-16-2012 08:45 AM

so i went pretty hard on my panels today....

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...34902802_n.jpg

this probably had to be the most difficult mod ive done on my z.... Not to mention how much time it chewed... took me about 5 hours to carefully dremel the crap outa the panels... i didnt finish the seat belt bars yet... gotta reshoot the mounts again because when i test fitted and would trim more outa the panel they got scuffed up pretty good.... :shakes head:

http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...54239446_n.jpg

:tup: tomoro im hoping the seat belt bars are easier to slot.... i honestly cringed when i took a 4'' hole saw into the panel lol

on a side note... i wouldnt recommend this mod to anyone who wants to keep the interior panels... it is a pain in the as$ to modify the panels

simota1 10-16-2012 08:56 AM

also.... dont mix beers with this mod.... i had a couple because at one point i felt like smashing the f*cking panels LOL..... after a while... it became even harder to tell if it was even with the other side :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:
