You've come a long way on your car! It looks great.

Like others have said, I'm not a huge fan of the headliner, but you did a damn good job putting it in.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have planned for the whip

Dayyum that headliner is beautiful, makes it really pop instead of being so boring and plain like mine.

I also like how you installed those interior blue lights, can't actually see the bulb all you can see is an awesome blue glow.

Very nice work definitely interested in seeing more of your progress.

^ side emmeting led's (cool white)..no idea why they look purpile in the picture but they are white in person.

Insted of putting them inside the head light i took the lights out and placed them ontop on the headights. There is a small gap between the light and fender where it just shines through

finally finished my trunk!!!

black suede with gucci fabric trim to match the interior.
i dont know why the black suede looks purpile in the picture, i think its because i took the picture in direct sunlight..however it is black in person.


subwoofer- MTX 9500 12"
amp- JBL bpx2200.1 (2450wrms)
MTX re-q to keep my factory deck

^ i used 55 degree (wide angle) 10mm high intenisity led's.
the install wasnt too hard, just a pain. i soldered on the resistors and wires so it can handle the 12v of the car. I ran the wires up through 2 rubber gromets located under the rear seats and hooked them up to the rear driver dome light so i can get the fade in/out effect. It deffanitly catches the eye

some night shots of the trunk.

for the logo i used plexi glass and etched in "acura" on the back with a dremel, i did not grove it...just enough to make the surface rough. for the lights i used an led strip left over from my foot well lights.

as for wireing, i wired the led's up to the trunk light so when it opens they go on...next im going to put some led's in and maybe around the amp rack to make that stand out.

dont mind the trunk lid fabric missing....i ran all the wires and relays for my upcoming 5k HID reverse lights......

^i got my electric from the battery, i have a switch to turn it on...if you want them to turn on when you open your door you could wire it one of the door lights or the dome lights.
