Ok you wanted pics you got em.... i know this is just asking for trouble but then after the **** i got for the dash it can't get much worse. Its all leather look vinyl, real leather was too expensive. Note: the staples are only in there untill the glue sets, i tested it on another part before i did it and you can hardly see the holes once the come out. As the thread title suggest, keep all insults to an absolute minimum or no doubt this will be one of the shortest lived threads. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks nice ... but is going to be a bitch to keep clean. I dont know if its a permanent fixture or removable, but when it comes time to use the boot scuff marks are gunna show up ... but then again you probably don't use your boot all that often. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Going to be hard.... its dirty now... spray and wipe cleans it up well though. Gavin was right, the sub is the big hump there and its to keep it all smooth and hidden. The only thing to go in is a 1' Blacklight and an embossed KICKER logo. (Just their "K" type logo). And the whole lot was built into the boot, nothing is removable with ease apart from the jack and spare wheel.

I know "rice" is a very sensitive issue on here .... but have you thought about also replacing the boot light with a black light generator, like you were going to do with the white dash?

not bad for a non-cabinetmaker um one bad thing is the staplework , u should have tucked the vinyl , so staples were hidden etc

Yeah they're only temporary though... once the glue has set they'll come out. Ya can't see the staple holes at all once they come out.

Yeah thats where the kicker logo comes in... its red and yellow and will be on the floor so that will break up the colour a fair bit. I'm doing that tomorrow.

you should do the logo Blue to match the car - yellow would look strange Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yellow and Red are the colours of the Kicker logo though... i know doing it in blue would make sense but yeah i think if i stick to the kicker colours it'll look ok.

I scrolled down through the photos and got blinded by the glare when my whole monitor screen went ..........white !!!!!!!!!!!! I think you obviously have a supressed desire to own a white car......................and broad shoulders and thick skin too! :roll: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
