The back is pretty sweet but I'm not a fan of the TV's in the little windows on the sides.

Why would anyone need that many monitors in a car like the Z? Not to mention the fact that only ONE of them is visible from inside the car.

How much +1. I dont think over 20k though. I'm gonna guess 12-14k.

Dude, labor alone is at least $7K and then add everything up hmm, let see.

Viper alarm
2 12" Diamond Audio D6 subs
2 6.5" Diamond Audio S600a Hex components
2 6.5" Diamond Audio D361
2 4" Memphis speakers
Hifonics Zeus & Brutus amps
4 7" Farenheit monitors
1 15" monitor w/motorization
1 rearview mirror w/ 3" monitor
rearview camera
Slim PS2
Kenwood 910
Kenwood Music Keg
Dynamat
Red Top Battery
Lanzar 5 Farad capacitor
Custom fiberglass plexiglass trunk, motorization, neon and matching paint. All work done by Showtime Audio.

maybe $15K, but if he paid full price for labor, I would be leaning towards $20K. That fiberglass box is well over $1200

DOH!! When I was adding in my head I left out the alarm, the music keg, and the fiberglassing. LOL

I'm really tired!

Showtime Audio in Chicago did my IS300 back when I had it. I knew the owner (Jerry)for quite awhile after hanging out at his shop almost everyday. Btw. I also refferd 3 IS300s,5 BMW's, and 2 domestic's to have there work done there. I'm now part of the Showtime family. After I sold my IS and bought the Z, I went straight there for an estimate. I already had the Kenwood 915, PS2, Music Keg, and amps. He asked me how much I could afford and I told him 8k. There was no hesitation from his part and agreed to make it for show. After everything was said and done, I paid 8.5k out the door for everything (nothing itemized), yet he's still not finished. He's still going to paint the center dash, middle console and dash. Showtime Audio is not a big shop by far. It's a small garage inside a car wash that can hold 6 cars tight. Yet they won 9 1st place trophies at the Dub Show. All in all, I think I got a pretty good deal!!!
