Thank you posting your armrest organizer tray! I had a hard time figuring out how to organize my coins and random crap in my car. Had no idea this was available until your post! Just ordered mine all thanks to you.

had some time today to get the fog lights in.
turns on there is absolutely no way I was getting them on without removing the front wheels.
They have to be stuff in from the back side to bolt on.
Luckily I had a little more free time than i initially put aside for it today

These OEM fog lights are awesome. I have them also and the guy who'd installed mine said it was hell of a job to do. He had to take several parts off of the car. It took him a few days to do.

Your car looks killer, as usual.

commence the itchy posts

used a cardboard template to figure out the bottom of the subwoofer enclosure. Cardboard easier to cut and do over if I mess up rather that do it on wood



now to trace it onto the wood




now taping commences to protect the trunk lining




bottom wood test fit


Time to protect the rest of the vehicle so the Fiberglass resin does not get all over the place




First layer of resin and mat laid

now that it is dry, time to get it out
and boy did it give me a workout pulling on it to release it. Struggled for a good 40-50 minutes pulling and yanking and spraying water into the crevice to weaken the blue masking tape adhesive.



my trunk is still intact and not a mess after pulling the mold


Took a half hour of peeling the blue tape off the rear of the mold, very tedious activity








quick test fit back in the car



up next will be to add another layer or two to this to strengthen the walls some more before i trim the piece down. right now the mold is a bit oversized and not easy to remove in and out of vehicle. Then onto figuring out how the front will look .

hopefully i can keep the momentum of this project going,
if not expect a update in a couple of months lol.
