just got it back from the shop again after getting more fiberglass on the back of the enclouser to reinforce it. Next step, I have to figure out where to put my Defi gauges - in a custom carbon fiber a piller, or a custom pod elsewhere. What do you guys think?

Just to chime in...
Regarding needing extra batteries etc.. this will NOT fix dimming etc.. Extra batteries are used/seen in high powered "show" cars because the runs for long periods of time with the engine OFF.. Adding extra batteries will do NOTHING to solve a dimming problem..
INSTEAD you would want to look into a higher output Alternator or possibly getting your stock alt. "re-wound" for more output.. Adding batteries to a set-up would actually put a bigger load on the ALt. and cause more problems..
Another good idea is to upgrade your stock battery to an optima yellow or red top..
OH and while it might be too late it's a great idea to use the thickes (lowest) gauge wiring.

yeah, I used 1 gauge wiring, it's just a little bit of dimming, but it's annoying. I thought about the alternator, but it robs a lot of horsepower and I want all I can get of that.

looks f-ing awesome!
I had JL W6v2 in my last car and it hits hard, a bit too hard for my EVO so i sold it.
don't all your panels rattle like crazy? like behind the dash and doors?
nice install

I gotta say this much about your job...
I'm an M.E.C.P. Certified Install Tech. I've been in this industry for 14 years now, installing almost 100% of that time. I've done a lot of custom work over those 14 years...and I gotta say...that's not bad at all!
Good job bro...
