yes i did it myself. fist i had to take out the driver seat to get the headliner out without creasing it, to apply i used "3m 90 adhesive spray" it was pretty easy if you have some one to help out..however i must say it was a pain to get the slide peice out of the sun roof since i had to remove the entire assembly to remove the slide peice to apply the fabric

some more pictures of my interior led's, switches, and intake.
for the intake i chose to make my own due to budget lol. i used steel pipeing the same diamater as the throttle body to use as a mold witch i covered in tinfoil then painters tape so i can remove the fiberglass once cured. I did about 5 layers with the fiberglass mat and it is STRONG.

[/IMG]
this is just a fit to see how it would perform, once it stops raining i will remove it to bondo and paint it. And i must say i see a definiate performance increase and let me tell you this intake is louddd but only really at 4.5thousand rpm to WOT otherwise you wouldnt hear it with daily driving.
switches for my subwoofer, led's, and hid reverse lights.

I like what you've done-the puddle lights and blue interior lighting looks good. I don't know about the liner, but well done.

it actually works wellnice and clean without a single rattle outside. allthough it wouuld be louder facing the trunk i did not want a rattle so i faced it foward and used thick blankets to seal between the box and the curves of the trunk. Then made a trim peice to cover the rear of the enclosure. Im still in the process of building it but if it gets nice out today i ca post some pictues of where im at

the red rectangle i drew will be cut out and the rear of the enclosure will be replaced with plexiglass so you can see the subwoofer.
