Lovin' the trunk build. I'm thinking of doing the same set up for the amp rack but I have 2 10" subs that I would like to put them inside the quarter panels on either side of the trunk and port them through the stock ports. I need to keep as much of the trunk space as I can to at least fit a stroller in there for the kiddos. Can't wait to see the finished trunk. I have way too many projects on my list so the single 10" is okay for now.

Yup I totally love it so far. I'm running it sealed right now and I'm gonna work on a ported test enclosure and see how that goes. I'm pretty sure my final is going to be ported I just want to see what kind of control it will have in a decent sized ported enclosure. I'm actually surprised at the output I'm getting from the sealed enclosure now and it blends so seamlessly into the front stage you hardly know it's there unless you're really slamming on it.

My dash is done yeah got the final missing piece to complete it. I got a deal on a 2000 celica gts steering wheel and airbag, got it wired up with my factory cruise control switch and bolted in. Now I just need to have a new arm rest cover stitched and the whole front half of the car is done.

Dash before


After

I like it. But for some reason, i think the tan is throwing it off. At least the carpet.

MY BAD, i didn't read...your completed dash (not whole interior) looks great.

I'm still working in the rear half of the car but don't worry pics will be up when i get to that. The only thing I have done to the rear is new black leather on the rear seat

Interior looks great. How did you go about painting/dying the control buttons for temp and volume? Does the light come through or did you end up getting the OEM black ***** and buttons?

I popped out the white plastic pieces in the buttons and ***** and painted them then glued the pieces back in

No biggie, it's a work in progress. Honestly though I kind of like the tan carpet, it's growing on me haha. It gives it a little contrast instead of just all black but I'll prob end up changing it anyway

WOW! That steering wheel looks really good I thought of buying the TRD Supra steering wheel: http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=3216 But there's a little something abut the price that just doesnt appeal to me....LOL it would look pretty sweet with your color scheme don't you think?
