I'm going thru a complete re-make for the inside of my car this week...finally got a cd deck in there...and I must say...I'm VERY impressed...its a kenwood mp3/wma player...with sub out and 2 other sets of pre-outs...not sure if I'll ever use them tho



The built in sub crossover is very...very sweet...I'm only running my sub at volume 2 of 8 at the amp level and i can feel it in my chest outside the car...and I'm only running a pair of 10's!



Also took out the cubbys...i've got carpet laying out that i'm going to fit into the car a bit better...i'm also hoping to scrap the old seatbelts out of my parts car...re-provision them to go in my new "rear seat holes"...not really good for a person...unless I happen to find a japanese guy laying around...but it works great for bags when I travel



and as you can tell from my picture I've gave the center console a bit of a face lift...cleaned, primed, and painted it metallic black...need to paint the radio bezel the same...and do a little dremel work so that the kenwood's surround bezel will fit on the radio...should look even better than it does now



I'll put some more pics up when I get this mess done

Finally got the dremel out and made provisions for the kenwood radio bezel to fit...much cleaner looking now...very nice...here's a pic...i've got a good start on the rest of the interior mods...carpeting...repainting...but my car is over at the paint shop right now...so I'm going to be priming/painting interior panels until it gets back...then I should have more pics when I get it all installed and finished up

try and do some colour-coding. You don't want your interior looking like a can of paint exploded.

Looks Good. We're doing interior now as well. I reinforced the stock cubby frame with 3/4" plywood from behind and built a sealed cab for two 10" subs. With son being 6'2" and growing I don't think we'll get anyone in the rear for passengers! I'm thinking of fiberglassing the trim around the radio for a flush fit.

nice sub install Iotus. We have to keep room for Shaggy's soccer gear bag in the back.

LOL!

That happens so often.



Skim reading is the DEVIL!



*Just to clarify*

ioTus suggests looking at other FB interiors to get ideas for your own...
