Glad to see someone who's not afraid to put it under the knife on day one. Looking great.

 

recently i refined my magnet license plate design concept mounting due to not being really confident in it staying in place when hitting bump. Now it is sturdy and will not go anywhere unless its purposely removed by hand







Here's video of it in action and me showing how it will pretty much stay in place where it should no matter how hard of a bump i may hit driving down the road.

 

some pictures that others snapped of my car at a Club Lexus meet over last weekend

I just found your build thread and wow.
Seeing it from the ground up and all your progress was amazing.
All that little detail. Nice work! I must check it out your car again!

So moving on,
I will finally start the Amplifier and custom subwoofer enclosure project.

Found out the Alpine PDX-M6 I had bought already does not fit anywhere that i can hide! Even though it is small footprint amplifier, it was not small enough!


Too bad too, because this is a nice powerhouse amp.





So had to do some research on what to do instead.
Found this "Massive" amplifier that was actually smaller, haha
The dimensions of the amplifier were online so i took note of them and did some measurements around trunk of vehicle and found this to be suitable for what I want to accomplish.

Dimensions 10.3 (in) x 5.5 (in) x 2.1 (in)

The specs of the amp

This will be perfect to power my Alpine Type R 10" Shallow Subwoofer.





Here it is, Massive Nano Block N3 Amplfier


Even the box is fancy


hmmmmm, yum. black brush aluminum casing. Too bad it is gonna be hidden away.


Here's a reference photo of it next to a CD



Here are the two sexy amplifiers next to each other




And here is a test fit of where it will live in the car



Now to get the ball rolling and rewire the car a bit to accommodate this new amplifier and then full steam ahead at mocking up the custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure for passenger side rear quarter panel.

 

 

Awesome pics! When are we going to have an all Cali meet??

 

Nice pix guys.

 

new quick easy mod

armrest compartment storage organizer

basically it gives you another "level" to put stuff instead of a mess of a deep hole

My before mess


After! my mess is hidden now











Where did it come from you ask?All I can say is Asia
This one pictured probably first one to make it over to State side.
Happy hunting for those that want one also
(Edit: You can purchase this tray all over now. Here's link to it for sale on ebay https://goo.gl/YhPmw5 ) [affiliate links]

 

That tray is LEGIT! Looks like it would definitely hold enough coins for ~8 minutes of meter parking in SF, right??

 

Looks clean man nice.

 

got rid of the iJDMtoys fog lights a couple of weeks ago and picked up a used set of OEM JDM.









The shrouds that came with the used set were super pitted with rock chips so i ended up selling them out and purchasing a new set to take its place. Probably my favorite part of the this fog light set since they are still new from the bag =)










The fog light harness that I ran in the vehicle already for the iJDMtoys had a different connector plug at the end of them so I sourced some OEM style connectors to make a harness adapter so its plug-n-play and tight secure connection when i go to actually install them on the car.





crimped with special tool.


Done and heat shrinked



OEM connector at the end of the fog lights


fits light a glove, or should i say OEM




A quick benchtest to make sure the wiring adapters are all set


Will hopefully get them on the car soon.
