the whole unit is modular, so it cam be removed in a matter of minutes. all the wiring is quick connects. and the whoile unit is fiberglass, so it weighs a little more than a spare tire!!! the whole thing.

since i got a partial by them, it would look strange to not have it all match. and i like RF, i approached them on it, im a big fan of their stuff..from personal experience, im not doing SPL or SQ comps, so it sounds good and thats all that matters..

Would be nice in any other car but not the evo. Sorry i just dont see the car as a show car. This car was built for competition. That and im just not one to upgrade a car's system... well maybe if it was a caddy. props for getting the partial sponsorship.

its cool im a show person, i do shows and my sponsors will require a commitment, usually 5-7 shows, i like the attention, but my car goes too, the engine gets as much budget as the rest. if i wasnt a show person, i wouldnt have done the paint..

I think it looks tight. True it wasn't meant to be a show car, but its meant to be driven on the road, and enjoying the road with better speakers is a +. I dislike the factory speakers and wish I had his fosgate. How did u get partial sponsorship?

The blue interior is sortah iffy though.

once again.. show parts?? the floormats i dont drive with, i just put them in for the pic.....too uncomfortable. at shows its all about awe factor that gets points...

for sponsorships, the way to begin and stay is to invest your own money (i spent 4 years on my own building cars and started to win shows, and thats how companies approach you, and you approach them) step one is to build a portfolio documenting EVERYTHING you do to tha cars, thats how i got the tv and commercials i do too. with the EVO, i just approached them and they already knew me, so it worked out. but be prepared for a big hard job, commitments you can't break, keeping equipment thats not yours in top shape... stuff like that

its not all good, sometimes you get stuff you dont want but have to put up with, since companies give you what they want to sell. but you need to prove to companies that they can trust to invest in you. i have denied one company for a sponsorship...APC (American Pieces of Crap) i told them i didnt want their stuff on my car. it not a cut spring honda.

If your car is a show car why not get a nice Fiberglass set up for your trunk that matches your paint job? And why did you paint the interior blue and not the sick *** chameleon job you have on the exterior? I think your car looks awsome bro, I think I would just expect a little more from a show car and one as nice as yours. Which speakers did they give you? I hope components!? Good Luck with the new system! Now you need a sponsor for some sound deadening material (Dynamat Xtreme!).

i bought all the dynamat myself. full trunk, all 4 doors, behind the dash. and for the painting the inside chameleon? i thought about it, too busy, it was hard to even look at. plus it was too much, i needed an accent color, and since the seats were blue, i went blue and this blue i chose for the dash matches a shade of the multi-tone. and as far as the trunk, i dont know i just wanted something simpler than painting and fiberglassing the whole trunk. i just have so much going on exterior-wise, that i wanted to keep the inside a little cleaner....

but who knows, i may change my mind halfway through the season when i start seeing the competition" ive done that in the past...
