looks cool

4 months dammmmn

 

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

 

DAMN!!! big bucks...

 

very nice. Especially the motorized TV on the rear.

Must have cost you a ton = 4 months.

 

Thanks guys for the compliiments!!!

 

Five monitors in a two seat car!

 

I hate you! LOL

 

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.

 

I have asked that before. One word, SHOW!

my .02 its too much, but too each his own.

Just curious of the bill, I bet you it was over $20K!

 

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.

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!!!

 

Any average Joe woulda paid double that!

 

True!!!
