Default MORE to the Dezod tC!!! Interior and Audio this week-PICS

Interior and audio were modified along with some misc lighting upgrades I've been talking about. The stuff to come is for the interior. Mods bought but not yet installed are: Redline hood shock, Kaminari 4pc body kit, Kaminari fiberglass wing, TVM short shifter, MOMO shift ****, VHT Racing-Red caliper paint, and some Blitz dress-up engine goodies. Now for what's on as of TODAY!!!

Mods for interior and lighting are now as follows:

Paint matched trim
Stewart Warner Boost/Vac Gauge
Stewart Warner A/F Gauge
Stewart Warner Blue LED conversion kits
Apexi RSM with G-Sensor
Kenwood KDC-MP278 Headunit
JL 500/5 5-channel, regulated amp
JL 10W3 Sub
JBL GTO series components (front)
Kenwood 6.5" Coaxials (rear)
XM MiFi system, hardwired
Blue Cathode Interior light kit
OBX Aluminum Pedals
Sensoro Bullet Radar Detector
OEM rear-view upgrade, with HomeLink system
Monster Cable wiring
Police Grade strobe system in headlights and tailights
Redline Blue under-body neon lighting system

PICS:

Overall dash layout...


Dash view while driving at night...


Apexi RSM - custom mounted


Stewart Warner gauges with blue LED kits


Sensoro Radar detector:


Custom Trunk:


1 of 4 installed strobes (in all headlights and tails)


Hidden Brain for strobes (AC voltage, adjustable pattern, 12 strobe capability)


Under body at night (pic taken in garage):


Oh yess....

The body kit and wing will finish the exterior, especially once most of the decals come off. The car has those gauges because it will be boosted in about 1 month or 2, after the first couple shows are out of the way. We're working on making this tC pretty fast, and it's definately capable. This tC is my daily driver so downtime is a little hard for me.

Any suggestions guys feel free to put them out there. I'm shooting to keep the car clean, but while still making it stand out... Workin on power, looks, and ICE, what more could you ask for haha.

Interested in a part you see? Feel free to email me at Joe@Dezod.com, or PM me here on SL. Thanks for viewing guys!

I bought 3 sets when I did it so I saved quite a bit. It'd probably cost me about 350 per kit. I can possibly work up a group buy if enough are interested and maybe get a better deal. This isn't your typical install though. It uses AC which is dangerous if not installed properly and you need to do some extensive drilling, along with using the right tools to pull the shavings of plasitc out of the headlights and tail lights.

You have the sub installed flush but do you still have a spare tire?

Sweet man, very nice Now all ya need is a blue LED conversion to your gauges to complete the look. Very clean, can't wait for the body kit (Kaminari) and turbo.

I like it all except for the pods above the air vents...they look grossly out of place.

The Apexi works incredibly well, and it uses the g-sensor for wheel spin correction. I just think cosmetically the Apexi RSM looks better and I plan on using the AVC-R for a boost controller, so things will look more in sync with each other later.

The Blue LED conversion kit I'll do if I'm feeling smart one day and remember to buy the bulbs I need.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Oh yeah, about the other question...

The clearance for 1, 3, and 5 is more than enough for the RSM. I couldn't hit the unit if I tried to. Definately a great spot to mount stuff.

2nd. white would look sweet too. You need a sports steering wheel man... why a cheap sensoro? go with a x50 blue hehe not only is it the best but the blue would match your lighting.....

Yes I did. No need for it, free road side assistance with Geico haha...

Also... The strobes will have a video soon. I've been busy but who knows maybe friday night I'll get somethin...

Thanks for everyone's compliments, my Kaminari kit is due to show next wednesday, and will be painted that following weekend. So expect to see updated exterior shots later. I'll make a big big post in a couple weeks with everything done.
