Laura, PM one of the mods and get this moved to the ICE section, let EVERYONE have a look!

I like it by the way.

[japcav]

i have done but nothing as yet??

[MarkW]

Who'd you PM Laura?

Best bet is Lee69 or Mystery Machine aka Gav regional co-ord for the SE region.

If you copy and paste the link into a PM you should be OK.

[Orange Peel]

Just got back to my PC..

I can't move it as I'm not a Mod. You need someone with a black font name

[japcav]

[mystery machine]

no offence intended so please no one get the hump!!!

this build must have taken many hours of head scratchin and resin mixin. something that i couldn't do, so many congrats on that,(you must have the patience of a saint).

problems for me regarding the before pic, amp looks out of place, orion sub,(i think), looks like an afterthought, and i would have preferred a 17" screen in place of the 3 smaller screens.

problems with the NOW pics,
the areas around the boot lid hinges, lets the whole build quality down.
the sub and amp issues, gone, sorted, sweet as,(like it).
would still like to see a 17" plus screen mounted in boot lid.
not sure on your choice of colour scheme,(think i prefer black/grey).

but remember i am being CRITICAL. and after all its your boot/install.

please take these comments as they are intended, just friendly opinions, i must commend you on the amount of time, effort, money and patience you have obviously put into this install. if competing this year may i wish you all the best.

[japcav]

thanks for the comms

at least you didnt say " its s**t"

it did take a long time and loads of fiberglassing
the hing areas are hard i have tried many different things but nothing looks anybetter then what is there now ( any tips will be great )
i used what i had with regard to screens this is the 6th install i have done in the last year and so i wanted to keep what i bought to a minnimum and so i ised what screens i had
the colour scheme is the same through the car ( white and black ) i just didnt want the flooring white ( for obvious resons ) so did the side boxes white

thanks anyway
laura

[EasyRob]

Looks good! Bet that gives the asthma sufferers something to moan about!

PS: Coulda at least mounted the screens straight!!!!

[japcav]

had a few friends sit in it

can give the " i want to be sick " effect very well

[wallopsri]

with regard to hinge areas its a tricky one.
i have seen a few installs with problems relating to hinge and rear light cluster covers.
i would imagine that whatever design you come up with, its going to be flawed in some way.
in the before pic,(dark enclosures), the hinge area is erm, anonymous, just a basic neat and tidy slot, but in the present colour scheme this area is over large and grabs your attention, if you could soften this area, by changing the colour scheme,(black to white), and reverting back to the flowing lines of the first pic i think it would be a sterling job.

in the first pic this area has a clean appearance, like it was designed to look and fit in that manner,( which i imagine it was), in the second pic i get the impression it wasn't.

as before i'm being critical, please don't take offence, i'm just offering my humble opinion.

i did once ask a lad how he had made these cloth trimmed inserts that he had around his hinge brackets, they were like a shaped cushion that would deform to allow them to be fitted, once fitted they regained there shape, apparently his mother made them from high density foam,(seat cushion foam, but only 1/2" thick), she cut out the bottom piece, laid that in place, then cut out the next piece,(slightly smaller than the first), laid that in place on top off the first piece, and so on till she had made like a curved, shaped cushion filling the area, once covered they looked pretty good. suppose this useless bit of info may come in useful one day.

did you try having the orions enclosure white, or maybe just the top face, this may highlight the inverted sub a little more.

anyhow, well done, overall effect is cracking

the first install is deceving the hing area is worse then the new install the cloth is just slit across but i think it is hidden by the fact it is the same colour

i will look into it more as i do agree it could look better but for now thats it

maybe we should try and patten a design and make loads of money from itlmao

thanks
laura
