leurven Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey guys, Thought I should post some pics of my car since I bought it from Sharma last month. The car remains as he had it except for the addition of a sound system just finished up last week and some euro spec headlight lenses (they look so crystal - pics of those coming soon). The system took about 3 weeks for my buddy to do working at Great Scott Audio in Norwich, CT (he works there full time). The sub box alone he told me took him 40 hours. The trunk is now full of fiberglass, MDF, and some variations of perspex wrapped and trimmed in ultra suede. Here is a list of mods to the car and a list of components to the sound system.

volvoamg Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I thought he had Porsche Brembo's on the front? Didn't I see a picture of you holding them or something?And how did you get a 5 speed auto? Aren't they all stock 4 spd?Nice looking vehicle, cept defeats the wagon purpose without a trunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leurven Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 In 2000 they put a 5sp Auto in the cars. Matt sold the big brakes before I bought the car. I will make a matt for the trunk so I can still use it, though it is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick. Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 looks good, I don't mind the contrast of the suede at all, looks unique, as does the enclosure. I'm loving the rake on the wagon, now get some 18'' pegs and you'll be (even more) back in business :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leurven Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 It was a lot. Probably just shy of $4000 installed. But I got a sweet deal on install and parts. If you want to get a system put in let me know. They are always looking for more business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 EXCELLENT install. I love that ultrasuede :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 with components, materials, and labor I'd say 4K is a fair price, and I agree, probably the best system on VS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 with components, materials, and labor I'd say 4K is a fair price, and I agree, probably the best system on VSmerely opinion there! I think Bing's install is pretty nice, and you can't go wrong with Jeremy's either. This install is nice and definitely all out, but I really like having use of my trunk! Not trying to take away from that install at all, but for my car, I need to have some trunk space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
