Well after a weeks worth of working on it, the system in the Z is completed. We did all the fiberglassing and what not this week, and it turned out awesome!

I haven't seen it yet, so I THINK it may be the first, but we put a 12" sub under the rear strut tower brace.

Anyways, we've got a [url=https://www.activetuning.com/pat/4]Project ActiveTuning[/url] issue dedicated to the entire install which will have tons of pics of the process and the end result, so look for that in the future.

In terms of all the audio stuff we used in case anybody is interested:

- Infinity Kappa Perfects in the front
- Infinity Kappa 2-ways in the rear
- Infinity Kappa Perfect 12" DVC sub
- Polk/Momo C400.4 4-channel amp
- Polk/Momo C500.1 mono amp
- Tsunami 2 farad cap
- Tsunami wiring
- Pioneer 850MP headunit

We're also working on the in-car pc setup, but had some issues with the monitor, so that had to be sent back. That should be installed within a couple weeks. Also, we installed a rear-view camera, but I'll leave that for the PAT issue...the placement is pretty clever ;)

Also, for anybody in the WI area that's interested in doing a custom audio/video/pc/etc setup in their car, shoot me an e-mail, as we may start offering services soon.

Anyways, for now, here's a sneak peak at how it turned out:

Thanks, yeah the paint is color of the car. It was taken to a body shop owned by a friend. The paint is factory, so all I needed was the paint code.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys :D We didn't do any custom stuff in the front of the car, just what you see in the pics. For the guy that wanted to know the code, it's A17. You may also want to check out the sunburst orange on the 2004 Nissan Sentra Spec V and find out what code that is....it's also a gorgeous orange color.
