SeRious08's Projects: Turbo Complete!!! Video Pg 8

Here are pics of the car a week after I bought her. I immediately went to work modding. I painted all that fake carbon fiber crap and the engine covers electric blue to match the car.









Well, I have broken down and decided to post some of my projects. I have a few others but I am working with RRM to possibley have them mass produce them. One is the gauge pod. If Brian and Rob say no, I'll post the pics of my gauge pod.

First, here is some progress on my custom fiberglass door pods. They will house a set of Pioneer TS-A1702Cs and a set of TS-A1672Rs. The crossover will be flushmounted to hid wires in the small square portion that you see in the MDF. I should have it trimmed, wrapped, and resin layed this weekend.

In these pics, the wood wasn't trimmed or permenantly mounted yet.

Here is my trunk. Many have asked what Just For Looks Car Audio is all about. We believe in the "K.I.S.S" Rule (Keep It Simple Stupid). I don't believe in the large excessive in weight fiberglass trunks that have no functioning room.

Here I have installed a false wall that houses my Pioneer TS-SW3041D and the Pioneer GM-D8400M amp. The amp will fit flushmounted in the hole. If you notice the side panels also contain the Mitsubishi Logo. There are 4 blue Varad l.e.d.s that light up and shine through it.

Also, I have installed a false floor with a hidden piano hinge that allows access to the spare tire.

And for those wondering, I am still able to fit my golf clubs and full golf bag in there.

 

Re: SeRious08's Projects

I know several of you will be interested in these and I am willing to make a few pairs for a decent price.

CUSTOM TWEETER PODS:

I hated the look of the stock ones, not to mention the sound quality of the tweeter was horrible. So I made my own with better imaging to improve the sound quality and looks.

This pic was taken from the drivers seat-


This pic was taken from the passenger side door open and slightly above to show the angling-

 

Re: SeRious08's Projects

UPDATE:

Here is the passenger door pod sanded and waiting for the Evercoat body filler. I placed it on the door to see how it would line up. Everything looks good so far.




In this pic, the bottom or far right corner is misaligned. I promise it lines up perfect!!!

Thank you sir.

 

Re: SeRious08's Projects

If you only lived in Texas.....

I am always willing to share my knowledge and give free classes.

I had a guy drive up from Houston and showed him how to make kick-pods. My services were free, he just had to pay for the supplies which was about $60. Now he has the knowledge to make other stuff.

I am a firm believer that in the car audio business, hording info and not sharing it only hurts it. Therefore I have always had an open door policy.

 

Re: SeRious08's Projects

I had 2 guys a long time ago when I worked at a place called Mad House Performance that showed me everything. I am just continuing the trend. You know, pay it forward.

Re: SeRious08's Projects

I just trust thier products. I know that they need some rep out there to show what the turbo can do. Then maybe others will follow my lead.

 

Re: SeRious08's Projects

OUCH!!! That does suck. I think at that point it would be worth just buying one already turboed.
