lol.......Now that my bose is playing (occasionally) out of the right channel only.....I'm getting quotes on a serious upgrade. The Sonys are in a cheap box and pound bass.... but you are justified in your comment.

Read this thread for the other answer: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=79131

Just found out that 355 stoptechs won't fit with 18" Fooses.

I'd really be interested in seeing a PE dyno. I'd consider APS if there was a dealer in GA.

I've had it for a while now, and it works great. NO problems whatsoever.

I can park the car in my garage and open the door fully....it is a two car garage and before I couldn't. At work, we are assigned parking spaces. Before I had the kit, I could not open my door without worrying about hitting the car next to me. Not a problem now.

And then there is the bling factor! Not less than 1 hour ago in a grocery store parking lot, some young blond (must have been half my age).......... ..............

I am lucky:
I had a friend (manager of service at a Mercedes Dealer) "manage" the install. He put his best 2 guys on it and did a very professional job. The install, paint chip touch up, and overall detailing cost me $600.

the key is polishing things that are really never noticed by regular people (bottom of seat, where the seat belt rests, seat levers.) It's the little things that win car shows. Make sure all of your stereo crap is flush and fits correctly.
