Default Preview of Koons Project xB

Having trouble posting images to our URL (server) so I posted these on Imagestation. Vehicle still has some minor touches to be finished like the suede instead of carpet on the box and rear trim as well as some other tweaking. I hope everyone likes it. We will be in the flesh with a finished project at the March 14th gathering. Graphics are in a Carbon fiber print.

BTW, GM just asked us to do another one (isn't that backwards?) so It begins tomorrow. This one will be Black sand with Blue and silver graphics....only thing is no stereo work on this one.

Thanks, coming from someone who has so much time and money invested in their car I would have to take that as a compliment. :D

The graphics look especially good and so do the rims, nice choice. But will you be leaving the system as a box or will you be filling in the gaps to the left and right?

Good job

Problem with filling the gaps is this vehicle is our trac vehicle and we need to pull every thing from this vehicle when it goes up for sale unless someone wants it as is. We are trying to figure out a way to "friction fit" removable suede panels when the box gets it's suede installed, but the curves in the back make not to easy a job of it.

Still, we have to take it back tomorrow for a few more tweaks to the system. We just wanted to show it off at the dealership to keep the GM happy. He was starting to wonder where is money went :D .

Under hood is just the AEM intake and TRD strut tower bar ( though I like the Hotchkis units design better), then the TRD exhaust from there. Suspension consists of TRD springs and Shocks which settled a little lower than I thought they would of course a 200lb speaker box helped that.

IMO everyone goes with the blue and silver look because it is proven to look good! so I say go with the vibraint red man it will still look good and evil as all hell BLACK and RED can't go wrong!

I don't like the box either. Too much work and it looks like another box with subs inverted.

It is a little much and we are trying to do more in terms of trimming the box out wih insert panels, but we were working on a very strict budget and with the (no cut rule) we had little options in terms of what we could do. Plus everything need to be able to be switched back to stock. Thanks for the feedback will pass it on.

I understand the no cut rule, but you can remove panels right? Our system is fully removeable and could be put back to stock in less than a day (with the exception of the painted panels)

DenZinz,

Looks great, ( very nice)but your system labor hours alone would have shot our budget. - the graphics our whole vehicle was done for less than $5000 including all suspension wheels, engine, subs, amp, and box
