Amazing build!!!!! Amazing work as always!!! Love how you modded the rear of the kit. I am getting the stardust kit for my G35 coupe. I am thinking of getting APR wide body side skirts and molding them down to that.

Thanks guys!!
I love how this set of pics really show how much the color changes depending on lighting. I was in a spot with a West facing wall that was a full window, so in the late afternoon/evening we had a ton of direct sunlight on the car.

Paint is a custom 3 stage color I designed myself. It has some inspiration from a Lamborghini color, a Jaguar color and of all things, a Toyota color.
It was actually the 13th variant/combination we tried. We sprayed 12 different color combinations on my old stock hood to compare lol

Alright, I apologize I did it again... I worked on something and didn't tell anyone or post build pics again lol..
Trunk isn't 100%, I'm going to re-do the sub box top half, get some more volume, maybe some fiberglass and paint, not sure yet.
Also the LED strip around the base of the sub box doesn't put out nearly as much light as the ones that go through plexi, so I'm going to add a 1/4" plexi ring around the base of the sub box to focus the light a bit.
Then I'll be moving the wiring into the bottom of the trenches to show of some nice clean wiring and fusing that I'm in the process of working out a sponsorship for.
And of course, I still have to get the Utopia BE's in the front for speakers. Lots to go still!
I'll post build pics of this portion in the next few days.

First thing it to figure out how the hell I want layout these monster amps... They make my old Hertz HDP amps look like toys lol.
Me and a buddy spend a couple hours tonight tossing layout ideas around.
I'd love to hear some opinions on layouts!!
One of the big issues with this trunk is it is very deep... At shows I like to rope the car off so it doesn't get scratched. The bad part about this is people are kept a few feet away at a minimum. With my old false floor with the inverted 33KX from behind the ropes at a show you could barely see the top half of the sub, everything below that point was out of sight.
Option 1:
Single sub (or maybe two) would go inverted in the center.
Pros:
- Super clean and sexy looking. Love the continuity and from one amp to the next.
- I feel like this layout would photograph very well. Even my crappy iphone pics of just the amps sitting on the old false floor look amazing lol
Cons:
- Somewhat simple layout
- I feel like the area behind the two side amps between the amp and strut bar would be a bit awkward looking.
- I still need to stuff a couple batteries under the floor as well, with the sub in the center the batteries would be tight.
