i like the sr setup and the digital dash, i dislike the rest, especially the color. none the less, that was alot of work and you deserve props for it. that is not how i would have ever done a 240 though.

Like my slogan says...Remember YOU have to drive it. Each entitled to his or her own opinion.
This is actually my first import project. To be honest, if it weren't a show car, I would have done lots of things different, as well. As I said, its designed to get noticed.
We also have a real clean Escalade with a modest audio / video system (ok, the video isn't so modest...it has a 27" TV that motorizes out of the back seat), a flat black 94 Caprice with shaved handles and flames, and a 1991 Corvette ZR-1 that looks almost stock, but sports over 500 NA no spray HP. So, I can go lots of different directions with a car.
Just to clarify, we did all the work in house, but I'm not really ready to offer all of these services to the general public. I think I'll leave SR swaps and upgrades to Casey at XAT. Its not a bad job, but he's better equiped than I am to do it. Paint is also something I need to get better at before I do someone elses car. This is only the second car I've ever painted.
What we're pretty good at is anything electronic, and I really like doing little things that make a car trick. For example, this car does not have a typical ignition key or lock cylinder. I used a lighted ignition switch in combination with a one wire microchip electronic module. I've got what looks like a watch battery on my keychain that you touch to a sensor on the dash to enable the starter.
Again, thanks for the comments, good and bad.

DriftingDJ...Yeah, I was out at XAT doing an alarm install for Casey, and putting an MP3 player in Mark's car (don't tell...they'll call him a ricer now). I'm actually heading out there to do another alarm in a few minutes.
Was that your white S13 that came by XAT fishtailing
Was that also you a couple days before with the big Mickey's on the back? I'd like to talk to you about your setup sometime...looked pretty good.

^ thats what this area needs more of. More custom type shops that can make "trick" parts as you put it cause there are indeed several people that do SR swaps and have many years of experience doing them. Again, the digital dash is soooo bad ass. You mind posting what guages those are? or how much you'd charge to do that?

I personally like the color and it looks like you did a good job on the car.
I want to swing by and hear those 16 6.5" subs. I know you can get alot of bottom end out of smaller drivers, but want to hear it in person to see how low it can really go
