Took some pictures at the shop yesturday I was throwing in a small addition ot my sound system and I had a camera on me so here are some updates on my car. Purcahsed it 2 weeks ago brand new with 7 miles on the ODO, now im at 800 with some mods. (wasnt staying stock for long)


Window Tint (5% in the back, 15% in the front)


Tints again, both of these pictures there is someone in the car. Gotta love the %%%


One Type S 10" in the trunk with a Kicker 10" Metal grill! Very nice position and hits very hard and clear for a factory head unit.


Hidden amp install, it doesnt overheat because there is plenty of airflow there, plenty of power (300W RMS) for one 10" Type S. Almost perfect fit had to trim down some styrofoam. It is also lifted of the ground with spacers for airflow underneath and above. Really like the install, very stealth and space saving im proud of myself.


A more futher view of the amp and you can see the sub in the corner.


DC Sports Carbon Strut Bar. And the stock(for now) engine bay.

Thats all the fun pictures for now. List of mods so far:

- Valentine One Hard Wired
- S2000 Shorty Antenna
- Window Tint (5% in back, 15% in front)
- Alpine MRD-M301 Amp
- Alpine Type s 10" Subwoofer

Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

 

not bad!

 

how much did you pay for tint?

 

Its 3M high quality tint and it was done at a shop that we do business with and it rand me $275 for all 5 windows. Its a lifetime warranty on evyerinthg, if the tints every discolor or bubble up he redoes the whole window no questions asked. He did my black 2.5rs back in the day too and they rock!

 

Nice car. I just finished my amp/sub/head unit install. I put my amp in the exact same spot.

 

they look hottest on super white!!

i want them too, but i live in CALIFORNIA!!

 

Very nice, I like the tint. SW rocks!

 

Damn that tint's dark! Love where you put the amp, very clean. Go with Randode's Cold Cathodes on your interior lights, they're great and the kit is an easy install.

 

It is amazingly dark.... wow...

 

maybe ill wash it today and take some sceneric pictures

 

very sweet

 

You need a aftermarket deck. The difference will blow you away.

 

I work in a car audio shop, I know the difference, lol. So ya it would be better, but this is fine, its actaulyl better than I expected comapred to a few other systems that we did. But very nice bass control through factory unit and it bumps, I took it to the dealerhsip for free oil change today and all the mechanics and service guys and even teh salespeople came out and loved it! They were bumpin the whole service bay, and you can ehar the tunk all over! Good stuff!

 

wooo! i just put 125 miles on my SW. bought it yesterday with 4miles on the odo.

good luck...my mods are coming shortly

 

i put my amp in the same exact place! looks nice.

 

i got formula one tint for 180. its mixed with metals so it doesnt fade and i also have a lifetime warranty.

here's a pic:

 

you should debadge the tc part on the trunk lid, i did and it looks sweet.

 

damn i hate livin in mass... 35% is legal limit all around now car looks sweet tho

 

IL. anything in the back windows, nothing in the front..........

 

Anyoone knwo if its possible to build a box for the 10" sub inside where my amp is, remove the styrofome and just build a box that will fit one 10" with enuf airspace, and then i'll worry bout the amp again!
