meade916 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't really have any "before" pictures, unless you look at the original build log of these pods (and the entire system build). click here to see that >> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142076-ubllexus-is-f-sound-system-install-mechman-270a-alternator-installed-page-5/page-5 But i will say this, when it comes to matching interior materials or anything else for that matter (like paint), black is not "black". Getting the right shit is important or it won't look right. When i built my door pods, the material i had was black, and looked good INSIDE THE SHOP. When the sun hit it, it was highly apparent that it did not match very good. It drove me BONKERS. Nobody really knew unless i told them...and i rarely opened it up in the sunshine so i wouldn't have to explain why it wasn't perfect. Heck, i even had this car in the Palms Casino for a week with Rockford Fosgate and nobody knew - because inside the building, even with the nice lighting, you couldn't see the difference. But I KNEW. Since it was a pain in the ass to pull apart and re-do, i wasn't in a hurry to fix it. Well now that i MIGHT be getting featured in PAS MAG (Performance Auto and Sound Magazine), i DEFINITELY do not want their camera's to catch me slipping. So today, i grabbed a large cup of coffee, some new, better matching material, and got busy. I think it matches a TON better! OK, also, i wanted it to look cleaner behind the screen, in case i pull it off. So i grabbed some sheet metal and made a little trim piece for the inside. It will almost never be seen but if i do take off the screen, at least it will be nicer then it was oh, 20yrs in the commercial roofing business has given me some skills with the snips - these were cut by hand.
