That is lovely work. I would get drool over it in person, sorry.

very nicely done
Thanks for the kind words guys !
I've been crazy busy but will get back to posting photos in the morning....
The trunk fabrication proved to be very interesting and VERY well thought out...
I'll let the photos speak for themselves...
Placing the stringer guides for the panels...
Adding filler as well as creating the shape for the breaks in the panels...
Close-up shot of each side panel.... Each side weighs in at over 30lbs....!
... Continued in next post ...
Being test fit after wrapping... the bottom is black carpet, the top it black matched vinyl....
Here's the trim that covers up the bottom of the rear deck from view...
Testing the fit....
The last portion needed to complete the trunk is the section around the trunk latch... The OEM piece was sanded... a break line was created and black carpet was applied to the bottom while the same black vinyl was applied to the top...
Here'd the trunk all completed with the new trunk light on....
... Coming up next... A-Pillar pods for the Tweeters...
When discussing the install with Micah and Ray at Sonus Car Audio back in June, we initially looked at creating a Dash Span Panel since at that time I was planning to use the Sinfoni T25T tweeters... a MUCH smaller tweeter than the Grandioso CF25T.
Once it was decided I was going to use the Grandioso set, plans changed a bit... and it was decided to use A-Pillars to get them to project as much direct sound as possible...
Here's how they did it:
In the car... getting the angles down using laser pointers...
Now the glassing begins...
Now wiring them up using Straight Wire product....
Completed photos in next post....
... Completed Tweeter A-Pillars...
Completed and wrapped in OEM matching fabric...
The Sonus Team came up with some options on grills...
The first is intended to show off the product and offer an unobstructed area for SQ tuning. The second is for daily driving and will cover the tweeters completely from prying eyes...
...Coming next, One of the most impressive Door Fabrications I've seen....
The doors that Sonus came up with just might be my favor part of the install... If you didn't have an Acura TSX... you might not even know they were modified with the grills in place...
Exactly what I had asked for !
Here's the how they started... and how they turned out....
Pre-OP.....
Testing space to work with....
Full on fabrication....
... Continued in next post...
.... and Doors are continued....
Getting wrapped in OEM matching vinyl...
With new courtesy light on...
Here are the midbass pods that are attached directly to the doors metal frame...
Threaded inserts were used to firmly attach the midbasses to the pods...
All installed and in the car...
Like the tweeter pods, the Sonus Team created two choices for grills...
