I just got my trunk done a couple days ago from a local shop (Aspen Sound) & am considering getting some neon. Neon is not really my thing, but I will be going to a local car show & am wondering if it's worth the $100 for the neon & labor, just to make the the Mitsu symbol glow underneath. I wouldn't remove it after the show, because to me, most of the $ & labor would have been a waste for 1 day.

So is this too ricey for you guys (blue neon under carpeted Mitsu logo on same level as amp & will turn on when the trunk opens)? Opinions & comments please!

 

Looks good, but the trunk just got even smaller. The neon would be fine in the trunk but thats the ONLY place. So if you wanna spend the money for it do it. Just dont go overboard.

Oh yea, hows it sound?

It's all nice & crisp! I have 4 4-way coaxial Clarion speakers up front, which are way nicer than stock. The silicone in the sub enclosure has to get rechecked, so I haven't been able to bump the bass, but I got my friend the exact same sub & amp a few months ago & it hits hard on the deep bass & is really accurate. Sub is 500 RMS & 1000 Max. Amp is 1500 watts RMS x 1 into 2 ohms

 

I think the mitsu emblem needs to be turned the correct way... Other than that looks nice...

 

^Mitsu logo is correct, it's the carpet, not the holes Hard to see in the pics

 

seems like it should glow red, the color of the actual logo

 

I assume when you say stock you are referring to the car's barebone speakers and not the Rockford Fosgate ones in the SSS package?

 

Kinda looks odd, need to make the emblem more apparent..

 

Correct

 

I see now.... It took me awhile of staring at it to figure it out... I would have thought if you were going to do neons, that you would make the logo the cut out and not of the carpet... Seeing that, I dont know if I would put neons behind it now... Might look a little odd... IMO

 

^Opinion taken... thanks!

 

qft

 

I think it looks tight. If it was me, I would take off the black panels and carpet them the same as everything else. Cut openings for the little doors. If you must add neon, yes use blue....and keep it low key. It will show up just fine at night and you wouldn't see so much during the day anyways. I voted NOT.

What kind of head unit do you have? I can't wait to tackle my mine (with the nav unit). Having the battery 1 foot from the trunk makes me smile I have a post somewhere on here on how to drill a zero gauge hole though the VIII firewall...

 

^ Thanks for the feedback. I will for sure not be getting neon now, since the money for that will now have to go to a new sub... I blew out the one in the pic a couple days ago

The head unit is a single-din JVC Arsenal KD-AR8500 ( http://support.jvc.com/consumer/prod...2&archive=true )
The unit is really nice, especially for a single din w/o a flip out screen.
