I know I skipped some steps but I didn't take pics on those. Here it is after the paintjob. I used spraycan dupli-coat because I'm cheap. The decal was custom made for me on ebay. Only 8$ shipped here...pretty good deal.

So pretty. Question and comments welcome. I should of clear coated it but the guy at pep-boys wouldn't sell it to me because I'm 17 so maybe I'll do it later. This is currently in my single cab f150.

Hey man,

Good job for your first sub box. Not to put you down or any thing, or maybe its just the pictures, But it looks like you still have some sanding to do. But other then that great job. :D

keep up the good work and spend a little more time on the sanding to get a more glass reflection in the paint
