We were supposed to get this car way back in March for use at Hot Import Night and Import Xpression shows over the course of the year. Bureaucratic bungling caused the car to get to us in early June -- MONTHS after the original schedule. So that gave our install crew a whole TWO WEEKS to do a show-caliber install. And they did. A little hustle, a little OT, a little creativity and a whol lotta experience produced the 2 week miracle you see here. Even the graphics were done in- house. Way to go boys. Look for it at HIN and Import Xpressions shows.

We used all-new Polk/MOMO coaxials and subwoofers to show off the new gear to our adoring fans. And the sound? LOUD, VERY LOUD...but clean, clear and tight, just as you'd expect from Polk.

 


All graphics were designed and done in-house. Lowering is by H&R Springs with Momo X1 18" x7.5" wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich g- force tires- 215/35's.


Front bumper, side and rear skirts are by Corksport.


The Apexi Worldsport muffler was welded onto the OEM exhaust.



The Momo X1's inserts were painted House of Kolor's Apple Red Kandy over Orion Silver basecoat to match the interior.


An Alpine IVA-C801 AM/FM/CD monitor was used for the source unit. A Momo Tomahawk shift knob replaced the factory shifter. Momo Grand Prix pedals were also used. A red handbrake and boot were installed on the OEM lever.


All the interior work was painted HOK Kandy Apple Red.






Two PolkMomo MMC650 1/2 coaxials were used in each of the front doors. An Alpine DHA-S680 6-disc DVD changer was installed in the glove box location.


The outboard crossovers for the coaxials were molded in to the door panel for a different look.






Momo Street Racer custom seats were installed with matching harness pads.


Four MM2104 PolkMomo subwoofers with G10 grills were tightly installed in the trunk compartment. The black panel above the subs is actually a vent so that the subs can be heard in the passenger compartment with the trunk closed.



The trunk lid has (4) MMC650 PolkMomo coaxials installed with an Alpine TME-M760 6.5 inch screen. The rear deck with the MMC690 6x9 coaxials can also be seen.





Here's the new carbon fiber hood from APC.
