The engine was removed making it easier for us to do a stealth install and giving us more access to certain parts of the vehicle. |
| With the engine compartment empty, we had the room we needed to work on the car. |

With exact perfection, the molded sub enclosures flow nicely from one side of the car to the other. |
| Countless hours spent building and preparing this for a flawless finish when painted. |
 |
 |
The drivers side sub enclosure extends down into the spare tire well for a larger sub enclosure. |
| For added performance, a nitrous bottle was added between the sub enclosures, which was later polished to match the finish of the subs. |
 |
 |
The CD changer sits behind the amp rack and is controlled from the in-dash head unit. |
| Two 1 farad Lightning capacitors were added, opposite the changer, to give the amps all the needed power. |
 |
 |
A custom carbon fiber plate was made and sits in between the subs and amps. Actual carbon fiber was used instead of carbon lookalike. The dash accents were made of real carbon as well to match. |
| Days were spent in perfecting the finish of this carbon centerpiece. |
 |
 |
A work in progress, many different layouts were created before the end result was achieved. |
| The most difficult task was fitting so many components into the small trunk space of this car. With very little room to work with, a lot of time was spent just working on the layout. |
 |
 |
Each side was lined up to perfectly match and be equal with the other. |
| With room shortage and little to no room between the amps, wiring was extremely difficult. |

The subs installed with the painted enclosures. |
| The carbon fiber center piece makes for mirror surface finish and reflects the neon glow for a futuristic look. |

The amp rack in its working stage with neon added. |
| The glove box was made into a status display holding all the engine and Alpine alarm displays. |
 |
 |
As well as giving superb sound quality, the silver in-dash Alpine double din CD and mini disc player matched the silver and carbon theme. |
| The neon lights up the wiring display behind the rear seat which must be folded down to view. All the fuses for the stereo and components are housed here. Also visible, flushed into the rear seat, is the Bass Cube from Phoenix Gold. |

| The amp rack with the bright red neon shows off the stereo system. |
 |
 |
The neon lights are controlled by the stereo system being powered on but can also be switched on by the alarm remote control. The alarm is also capable of rolling the windows up or down. |
