i wouldn't take the outside fins off, the rear goes lower on the outside part of the fin, hence why the guy who took them all off on MM made it look goofy.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely take it into consideration. The rear bumper needs repainted anyways (had a few small issues with it)- so whatever changes I make will be when I go to finish the hood and side skirts.


Also figured I'd post some pics of my old abandoned projects:

Really old school: (ditched the project because I wanted more power and upgraded both amps- plus blocking off the pass through lost me a couple dB)



Kickpod project:
I originally started this because I hated how when you opened the doors at car shows, the front sound stage totally tanked. So I made these pods to keep a somewhat respectable sound stage inside the car even with the doors open. I never finished them (they never got past the rough cut/primer stage shown), because they took up too much foot room, and I stopped caring so much about how the car sounded at shows-as long as it sounded good to me while I was driving.


Back seat box:
I built this because I never used the back seats, and wanted something more custom than my ugly trunk box. I was planning on having it bolt in at the lower rear seat mount, and to the metal behind the back on the sides. I was planning on making trim panels to make it butt up to the sides as well, so it flowed with all the body lines around it. I designed it to have a removeable port (built 3 different length ports to test and a blockoff plate) that sealed with a gasket. I scrapped it partially because I liked the old box better sound quality wise, and partially because it was a nightmare to remove (had to remove the door trim panel, a seat, and the center console)- so going to the track would be a pain. Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the back seat- I put the stock back seats in for now.



(the box is actually slid a bit forward from where it would sit mounted- the bottom ledge lined up perfectly with the carpet- and the top side lined up exactly with the amp rack)
