Looking good. If I were to go vinyl I would only use back. I think that sometimes it can look a little tacky. Carbon eh? I personall would go this route but you are looking at $ and time. Carpet of vinyl would be much easier and a lot easier on the wallet.

oh.. i forgot to mention... I have about 2000 feet of carbon outside in my shop so expense to overlay carbon isn't a worry.. time might be.. i'm just worried that much carbon might look tacky.. oh well.. if i dont like how it looks.. i'll just vinyl it over..

yep.. the box is fully removable.. I just removed the seatbelts today (going harness) and I'll be molding in my 6X9's (or 6.5's) in the pocket where the belts used to be..

Subwoofer Covers
After my car was broken into (driver's door window) and subwoofer & amp stolen I airbrushed this cover to put over my new subwoofers. It works great because I used velcro to attach it to the back and it covers anything I store in the back. I airbrushed it to match my seatcovers & mats, it may be a bit much for others but I l ike it! I airbrushed it on black heavy fabric and used wood trim to attach to the car.

oh... i get it.. the subs.. punch H2's?.. well... i honistly never cared to look.. but they are the high end versions.. (1000 watts each).. I wont be using them in my rx7 tho.. they were the only 10's not upstairs in storage.. i hate having to carry ~30+ lpb subs up and down a ladder..
the system I will be putting the car is made up entirely of MB Quart products.. overall I will be running less wattage.. but I love MB sound quality and with such a small car.. and one that is insulated so well (4 layers of matt) i'm pretty sure everything will sound crisp.. :]
