It may not be the nicest car, but even if I had an old clunker, you better believe the audio/video would be kickass! We can't have an audio shop and roll around without some junk in the trunk!

why not put all that money that you are going to throw into a system and put it in the bank so you can save up for a nice car
to each their own but never got why you spend 5k on a 10k car instead of saving up and getting a nice car.
Trunk is kind of cool though

im not saying its not cool .. but getting actuators and or motors and making them work in such a way as to do that ... not very hard. even with my limited electrical skills.

Why are yall hatin on Street?
I am sure pop-trunk (as we call it in down south) is cheeper to do down here simply because we have been doing it for so long. It is probably "new" technology up north.
For the haters on the Galant, you need to realize that it is Street's demo car! I bet it is purely a tax right off!

Nah, it's not even about tax write offs or anything. This is my brothers car, he bought it when he was 20 years old, and we started building it up here and there. It has a killer system in it which we still haven't finished, and I just wanted to post up some pictures and video of how it was coming along.
It's what we do, it's what we love, it's our business

I have to say I agree with you. I dont even work on cars for a job but I love to do it no matter what kind of car it is. I installed a system in my friends saturn and I am currently building a system in my friends dodge neon.
