Here is the "control panel":




Here are my rims:



Here is the fuse panel:



The car is literally torn to pieces now (3-12-02). The speaker panels and box are going to the paint shop tomorrow. Headliner has some more work to be done and the trunk is going to be started. A lot of sanding and primer has been taken care of over the past couple of days. As always I will update as seen fit and when available.

 

man.....man MAN!! I wanna see this car finished. I have been in suspense for a year. thumbsup: Nice choice on the wheels ... looks tight!!

 

did you get 18's?

 

19" Racing Hart C2 EVO

 

yum i love those rims!

 

Damn, with all that wiring...i think you are building Knight Rider!!

 

I hope you plan on keeping this car for a verrrrrrrrrrry long time. There is soooooo much time and $$$$ into it So when is it going to be done? Are you still letting them take it for a month after its done....that would KILL me.

 

beautiful rims/great system work i can't wait to see it done

 

Geeze...you have more invested in Dynamat that most poeple spend on their entire stereo system! I can't wait to see it completed! You've got some very creative ideas.

How's the project coming? I'm patiently waiting to see the final product....did I say "patiently"??? I mean't "impatiently"

 

man that looks great...i can't wait to see it finished car...

 

Here you go Street Effectz:
Here are some pics, although descriptions aren't ajoined I think you will get the idea.

 

Damn, that looks good. The newest set of pictures are great.

 

Can't wait to see the final product

 

damn what brand lcd's are those? NICE mount man.. very clean...

 

Alpine monitors 6.5"

 

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! A shop that know's their shit! EXCELLENT work....who's doing it anyway?

 

Is that CL done by Audio Excellence. The speaker grill and the top liner with the TV looks like the 2000 Renault Magane they did for someone in Bermuda. The Renault is in car audio mag (oct 2002). THats a badazz car u got there.
ISnt Audio Excellence and Ultimate Audio the big boyz in car stereo down there. My TL was done at and is still being done at Ultimate Audio. I will get pics when done. Hope to see that car this weekend.

 

acurajl---nice work, i competed back a few years ago and its alot of hard work to get a car look sooooo gooood like you did onn this on. Expressive Audio here in houston built my car and it 2 months to build, i cant imagine a project like this.. beautiful work- mad props

 

thanks Streeteffectz....yeah, Audio Excellence is doing the work out of Orlando. Ultimate Audio is a good shop, I have the unfortunate opportunity to witness some mistakes that they have done, but they do get a lot of respect. The Renault has similarities, but also originalities with my car that are respected in the 12 volt industry. The headliner is now in its 3rd generation, the bubble plexiglass is in its 3rd generation also. What really makes my car different than the others is the different components of the car coming together with a slight variation from the others, yet with also very distinct concepts that were masterminded by Audio Excellence and myself.

 

After I picked up my jaw from the floor, I muttered the words "holy sh!t." Nice car.

 

Hey I didnt see that car at daytona today, what booth was it at, was it inside or out?

 

It was at the Tuner Bash behind the Adams Mark Hotel, sorry you missed out.

 

AcuraJL, sweet ride man! I didn't see your car either. I went to the Tuner bash behind the Adams Mark Hotel on Saturday and only saw a Blue TL, Red CL and a CL similar to yours, but with purplelish flames on the front. Where exactly was your ride? Was it in the parking lot on the side of the hotel or directly in the back by the boardwalk?

I tried to send you a PM, but it says your box is full. How long does something like that take & also if you could provide me with ballpark figure $$? Send me a PM if you dont wish to disclose the info. I've heard a lot of good things about the place you're having it done and I've thought about taking my car there. I'm in Miami and visit Orlando around 2-3times a year.

 

well, the PM thing has been screwy for a long time, however I have an e-mail address in my profile that you can use. My car was in the JL Audio booth behind the hotel on the bandstage. Unfortunately, traffic was horrendous and we did not get the car there untill late Saturday. I am sorry about the inconvenience. The actual labor work for the stereo is hard to analyze because of so much overtime and uncounted hours. I would guess 300 hours.

Off topic but nice icon 4pumpedCL

 

man, i was pumped about my recently installed stereo, but yours is crazy. your sh*t is slammin

 

Congrats on the progress... it's come a long way, it's a good things changed to allow this project to happen... It'll never be completed, but keep everyone updated!

 

imagistic: The car is now 99% complete with only touch-up paint, and minor reconstruction as well as one or two technological difficulties.

ah, yes, point was- you will never feel that it is complete But yes, it looks awesome

 

Hey man, what is the rear trunk lid made out of? I'm thinking of doing something for my next project.

 

The trunk lid has a fiberglass base with vinyl wrapped on top using plexiglass for the window.

 

Thanks

 

What's a round about figure for how much this cost's? I can only imagine how much it costs.

 

Keep imagining......

 

imagining the price of...............another cl-s 25K-30K worth of product and install? am I close?
