Look the same as my "eyelids" I made out of ductape. On silver cars it looks schmick, matches the nissan colour-code so well you can't even tell its tape ;) That being said...I think his are a bit more professional than the old tape-mod and are just still in primer, lol

I would say he'd prob install a plexiglass logo with backlighting to make it look sweet. Otherwise most people would install crossovers in that position but its rather big for that.

Ive got Boston Pro 60 SL speakers.. The cross overs are quite big and a twin setup would easily cover that space. You should see inside heatsinks are massive.

hey guys
well autosalon has come and gone and what a sucess!!
drove up friday arvo 15 guys 10 cars 5 of which were entering in the show it was a really fun drive, got stuck in peak hour traffic so took alot longer than expected.
any way got to the showgrounds to set up round 6 set the cars up and got out of there at 9 took awhile to get it all right 5 cars in a display takes a bit of orgnizing.
staggered to the show saturday it was a success, staggered again sunday hungover and again a massive success
300 entrants and over 30000 spectators awesome!
also got interviewed for mighty car mods check it at 9 minutes :)

cheers

hey guys
so the paint on the hatch is chipped and has been for a while and now ive finally decided to fix it, so went to get some paint for the handle and it was 250 bucks :eek: half a soda can of flake was 90 buks, so ive gone a diffrent route, will look really nice too!
ive got some aluminum that will have a brushed finished, taken the handle off cleaned and sanded the area flat and made a cardboard template then a 3mm MDF template to make sure its right on.
any way enough talking enjoy!

this weekend got the front face cut and shaped and brushed, also got the bottom plate cut, shaped and brushed, and got the threads cut going to weld it all up tommrow, had to wait til monday to get a tig welder, then i gotta shape the weld and brush it and clear the whole handle
there are 4 bolts that bolt the handle to the hatch as well as glue that will be used. the glue will double as sealant
