Very impressed with the fiberglass quality of the strut box. I ended up not using it but it was the best work I have seen.

Yea Nazar at Wicked CAS does stealth strut bar enclosure's for the Z. A bunch of members have it. My box could've been done a little cleaner but it still looks hot and is holding up.

Cleaner as in when I got the box it was dirty, had a very small chip in it, and the vinyl appeared to be loose in certain sections. Nothing too noticiable. They didn't do the install though.

I'd love to check out your system when you get it done. I live in Middletown and when I'm ready for a stereo install there is no doubt Wicked C.A.S. is who I will be going to. I've been wanting to do a system for some time now but I keep getting other mods. that take my money away. I'll get there at some point. I've seen 3 or 4 Z's already that have had systems done by them and they all sounded awesome.

Last year I spent a whole day with Nazar and Jason as they installed a DVD screen in one of my friend's Z and the job was top-notch and the price very reasonable.

You have nothing to worry about with those guys. Keep us posted on how things turn out.

I PM'd him a couple weeks ago but never heard anything back.

Could you tell how easy it is to remove (i.e. for AutoX/Track)?

I don't know about install quality since I just ordered my stuff by mail.

I haven't received my order yet, but they have really good deals (get their price and shop around on the net, they were lower than most any vendor I found, even eBay). Also the staff is very friendly and knowledgable.

xxlbeer,

I have to agree with you there. I talked to Nazar and the prices for the sub and amp make up for the cost of the box. All together it seems to be a reall good package.

Do you know if you're getting any installation instructions, wiring, fuse block, etc.?

Post back with a self-install review when you're done. Or, even better, post back with pictures of the installation process.
