I had a mod red interior to start. Cut a piece of aluminum to the correct shape, glued it on and painted it. The finish looks and feels like leather.

haha

The speakers are Focals Polyglass. I had Kove in the car when I originally purchased it and the speakers were shot so I changed them out to Focals and I love them! Here is the back setup with the amps. They are ''U.S. Amps'' TU-600's with a 15'' Kove Sub that will beat the crap out of you! haha

Also my eq and Kicker speakers in the back with built in tweeters with two more tweeters next to them also. (The kickers will be soon replaced also).

Absolutely killer! How do you even park that car? I would be afraid someone would break into it and as I former Chicagoan, I know tint is illegal to help hide it.

So, the custom lower door panels were already installed on your car when you bought it? I would like to know who custom designed those.

Nice! Were the bottom sections already red or did Apsis cover with red leather?

These aren't too custom, but .... I broke the door apart and pulled the bottom vinyl off and replaced with Micro-Suede.
