A little too much white for my taste, but it's very origional. Awesome custom work, that takes talent, white or not.

Well its not really my taste, that's just too much white for me. That dash pad is going to be so hard to keep clean.
Instead of having the prefab speaker box back there like that, you can make a custom box that fits in the rear well, then make a amp rack that has either the amps under plexi, or have the amps flush mounted. Then cover it with Vinyl matching the car (not white)
Camaro's have lot of space back there to do really cool audio setups.
here's mine.
having something like this, doesn't block the view out of your back window.

Paint the entire dash and center console white, as well as the door hardware that's still black. With a black carpet, and maybe black seats with white stylings on it (stripes, logo, whatever). I think you might have something there. Not many people agree with me though, it seems.

That system I actually didn't do myself. When my old system got stolen, my insurance said they would pay to have a shop do it, so I just took it in and had it done.
But I watched what they did, and the hardest part would be the fiberglass box in the well. I've never worked with fiberglass before, so not really sure what's all involved.
The rest of it though isn't tough at all, most of the material you could get at lowes or home depot.
The pices that goes over the box and around the amp rack is made of that stuff that looks like peg board only without the holes in it. Just cut to fit the back and then covered with Vinyl
The amp rack itself, is just made from wood. The sides about 2 or so inches high,and that's what the cover mounts too, and what holds the plexi up off the amps.
The plexi glass you can just take it to a shop that works with plexi, give them your dimensions and they'll cut a piece for you.
Go ahead and copy it, doesn't bother me at all.
oh and the box holds 2 12's.

I only post because you ask for opinions... Lose al lthe white, especially on the ground effects and interior. The white ground effects on a blue car just look bad. The white dash pad and door panels look funny in that blue interior.
Im glad to see you trying to make the car nice, I hope you like it. Its jsut not my taste at all.

It isn't too hard once you get the hang of mixing the resin and the catalyst and how much time you have to work with it.
Go to Wal*Mart and buy some, and practice with it. I learned by fixing my 1/4 panel

For the choice of color, Id give it a D-
For the craftsmanship, Id give it a B+
It looks like some kind of power ranger car or something
Sorry but I think thats just a little too loud. And whats with the mustang-style scoop on the side of your car? Im not into that either.
However, it is obvious that you put some time and money into it, and as long as you got the results that you were after, i applaud you. Id just hate to think of how much glare that dash will throw up on your windshield. At least you put effort into your car, which is more than i can say about thirdgens around here...

yea, try doing the whole interior white, that would be cool. white face gauges too.
Also was your horn button as hard to install as mine was? i just put in the grant wheel (i guess yours is the same) and i had to do alot of grinding on it. Push in and turn to lock into place my #**

Well no matter what opinions you get from people its your car and if you like it then to hell with everyone else.
I think I would do things different but if I bought it like that I wouldnt make a bunch of extra work just to change it. It looks like good workmanship and a lot of time spent to make it the way you want it. Good job man and go out and enjoy the drive. Turn the music up and step on the loud pedal and boom.. everybodys opinions fade away into a distant memory.
