well i decided to do bags instead of coils so i dont bust my oil pan pulling in and out of my driveway. ill just let the pics do the talking cuz i know thats what you guys all want.
Btw heres the car in question.

and heres how the trunk started out

started by building a frame to mount all the components in and raise the floor 7 inches

spare tire access

got a little bit of the wiring done too

then i made the false floor and wrapped it in suede to match the headliner and pillars

and i also molded the digital gauge in the sunroof motor cover

now im just waitin on the compressor and bags
let me kinow what you think so far though

Looks really good....is it just the camera angle or is the hole for the sub cut off center?

thanks guys
yeah the switchbox is easy to make all you need are some switches and diodes...and the best part is it was under 20 bucks for parts

FINALLY!!!!!
no more burst tanks, DOT or otherwise. (not that i'm advocating non-DOT approved tanks, but if you wanna risk life and limb to save a few bucks, at least put one of these bad boys in a port)

Re: Guardian's build thread (guardian1020)

ok so i finally got the bags in after all the set backs i was having...before we all get started, the rears still have bumpstops, they will be coming out when i3 get new struts.
and the fronts will go lower after i get the new struts also...anyway on with the DIRTY pics...i hate mud
