Looks like some little kid tried to color your dash with a black magic marker. Just my opinion.

the carbon fiber threads are VERY disturbing, takes away from the rest of the install. if you can find some kits that have weaves that are more straight, would look a lot better. other than that..nice install.

Nice install, amps look great, I agree w/ everyone else about the CF, also i would have gone w/ something other then sony (im not a big fan)... maybe some eclipse or JL audio subs and an Eclipse or Alpine head unit... Again this is just my opinion don't take it personally or anything...

Sadly, people have long forgotten that.

The majority of the world thrives on belittling others.

That being said, great install dude! Looks nice and clean, while the CF is not in my taste, I got the Aluminum kit myself.

The head unit doesnt normally fit in the car. Did you have the frame around it custom made- or did you find it somewhere pre-made?

I like the way you did the speakers in the back. Thats a good idea for people who still need the room that the trunk offers.

Nice job, it all looks very originial, and thats the point right?

When you post something on the internet and request opinions, you're going to get just that, opinions. If all you want positive comments, what's the point? Ask a family member instead.. they'll say "that's nice dear."

Ever heard of constructive criticism?

Carbon Fibre - gone . . .

Quick question:

What amp do you have driving those subs? Currently have my sub in the stock area, but seem to get wierd buzzings, but I am using the stock head unit, and the crossover is all wrong. With those subs in back, are you experiencing any vibration issues or plastic buzzing?

If my head unit replacement / crossover adjustment doesn't cure the buzzing, I am thinking about doing the same with my sub. I'm just sick of pissing with this thing. After all, it may just be the 350Z is a hostile environment for audio.
