EEEEEE GAHD!!!   in the future, i see him cutting holes in it to change light bulbs, get to the top bolts for his rear suspension, , and other important stuff there.  Looks a lil to late to start over....  Almost looks like a cement "car",,,something you would see on Monster Garage haha

On my first fiberglass attempt, i spend 5 hours reading and looking at all of the pictures on the Alpine Demo Cars shown on the site.  after that, i had a crap load of knowledge going in.  I build a 10" sub enclosure into the back trunk corner of my moms 99 vw jetta, i used NO bondo at all, , just took lots of time in the glassing process, , and about $20 in paint brushes later i was done.  Totally removeable, , take out the sub, , then 4 screws in the enclosure, , and you can change the light bulbs.

Guy , definately check out www.alpine-usa.com  and look up there demo cars, ,see how they built them, , you will get a clear image.    but please don't buy any alpine, , sony should do the job for you.

hahahaahahahahaha. yeah i get the joke too. but sony might be too good for him too. anyways i dont see any type of sub fitting in those eye shaped holes.diameter or depth. and how many damn speakers does he plan to put in there? every time i see a pic i count 4 more holes. in the future i see a car fire. that thing is a damn deathtrap.

I just hope bondo boys knows more about Nitrous than he does fiberglass.  Anyone else notice the spiderweb of wires under the outhouse seats in the back?  If anybody pulls up next to a white mustang with the back end dragin' watch out cause he may blow your A$$ up.

Hey guys, try to keep the language within reason here ( had to delete one post here already with questionable comments ). I know this member's project is at a loss for words, but try to keep the words that you do use respectful and also keep in mind the forum rules when responding.

Thanks.

oh so thats were i puked last weekend in the bar parking lot Glassing Pics, Opinions Needed - Page 6 -- posted image. sieriously that has to be a joke.i mean come on dude its bad enough you own a ford product dont do anything else to your car. save the money you spend on bondo up and pay to have an installer build you a custom inclosure and furthermore why are you putting all that weight back there if you want to race most people remove weightt from the chassis to race.so i would say make a descision iether all system no performance or smaller scale system more performance.i just built my first fiberglass sub encloser a few weeks ago i have an 87accord i built a wheel well enclosure with the subs hardely taking up any trunk space. they face the seat but angle up towerds two ports in the rear dash it kinda looks like a big pair of cartoon tittys but it sounds better then any mdf box ive ever biult. and i learned how to do the glasswork here and had a little tip or two from an old boat repair guy.dude i am so proud of my box now that ive seen this thread hehe. man i dont normally flame but i thnk you need to ventilate the work area when you glass next time cause you had to be high to do that to your trunk.i hope you already payed that thing off if not you might wanna stop paying them and let em repo it i say start over on the whole car.otherwise you have a lot of removal work to do i say get a jackhammer after it.well mustang guy you got us all goin so lets get some more pics up here i wanna see how much youve taken out.
love the flames.apair of aw1251t subs 75 watt rms flame amp eq/linedriver clarion h.u.the rest is temporary untill i can afford the rest of the system.

You guys are brutal, but funny.  Obviously everyone thinks they should start over, even me, and I'm just about to start my first project.  They've probably already put about $400 worth of bondo and glass in the trunk, so they don't want to waste all that money.  If they want to decrease their gas mileage by half and ruin their suspension, let them.  They'll learn from their mistakes.  Maybe they can get their car accepted by MTV on "Pimp My Ride".  The guys at West Coast Customz will just get a big power saw and cut the trunk off so they can weld on a new one.

Don't get me started on West Coast Customs,  the only good thing aboutt them is their paint guy and the interior guy.  Who needs an accessory guy.  BUBBLES????  what about the giovanna, personally i'm sick of chrome.  Themes suck when you're using things like Yoga and Photography as your basis for design.  The CRX was an 87 that's the year before anything good could be done to it.  Obviously MTV doesn't know sh*t about designing car because those are easily some of the crapiest "PIMPED" rides I've ever seen.
