The new audio system consists of a custom built fiberglass box(painted to match car) with 3 10" Pioneer Champion Series Pro subs. The new subwoofers can take up to 1000 watts a piece. The amplifier pushing the subs is, MA AUDIO HK4000D and is running off of 3 KINETIK 800 batteries and will be giving the subs all they can take. And the second amp is MA Audio 401SX and powers the component set.
The outside consist of 3 different Veil Side body kits to insure no one had the same exact style. Dual spoilers, one for the track and the other for looks. I then purchased a set of Foose rims.(20"X 10") and they do not affect the factory ride height. The lambo doors where a great addition and eye turner and added that extra touch. The paint job consist of Black on the front, and working its way onto the fender and the top of the car and rear hatch. The rest of the car is gunmetal, including one of the spoilers. Each body part used was considered not just for looks but what it would offer, performance wise, as far as air induction, drag, and overall stance of the car.
The interior upholstery is custom. The seats are black leather with gunmetal accents running up the middle of the seats, and pipeing all the way around. The same gunmetal leather is on the armrests on each door. Many of the interior pieces where sanded, primed and then paninted to mathch the outside of the car.
This car was used in a Music Video. Voted and aired on T.V. as one of Kentucky's hottest whips. Its made its way into a SEVERAL Big magazines. Picture and description was posted in NEW YORK TIMES as one of americas most collectible cars. BEST IMPORT at CARL Casper Auto show, and also received the I.S.C.A award for best Interior. And First Place at FunkMaster Flex Custom Car And Bike Show. And has won numerous other awards at smaller events, including drifting and drag racing events.
