ps I personally like blue, the car is blue.. and keeps the interior a darker shade.

IMO, the white.

Actually I think silver/light gray to match your seats, but that's just me.

Regardless, it's your car. I think the blue would look good to, and be much easier to keep clean.

I just like contrasting colors like the black and the white, or black and silver/light gray.

(oh man he's gonna hate me)

I'm not a fan of either... but here's why- The white is so "white" that it looks unfinished to me. And the blue doesn't seem to fit, other than the blue writing on the subs. Which way is the board now? Blue or white? It might make more sense if we could see the blue car along with the blue board... instead of just a hatchback shot...

But- what about some kind of pattern? Something that would incorporate some silver? Beats the hell out of me what kind of pattern, though... you wouldn't want it to look tacky. That setup looks so good, it seems that it's screaming out for more than just one solid color.

Here's my lame attempt to show what I mean... now you guys know why I'm not an artist! Hell I can barely remember to wash my car every now and then!

the first one appears to have a grey interior and the second one has black interior, well the hatch plastics atleast.

def go with the color to match your seats that would look hot

I think the blue looks better than the white, at least matches the exterior of the car. If it were mine I'd probably cover the board with black carpet and the speakers with that black audio material for a "stealth" look. Depends if you want to show 'em off or keep 'em from getting stolen

I say blue but make sure it is matches the color of the car. A different blue would make the car look hella tacky really fast. Also keep the box in at least as good a condition of the car.

(sorry I've been up all night)

I agree w/Fyrelance overall, but the only bummer is, everyone does black (or does a carpet matching color).

I aint doing black, black carpet has to be the tackiest, a and b sound saturday night special kind of look...... lol thats just me.... it grubby looking..... the vynl has a flat surface... with very geometrical lines.... someting i like.... i'd say blue. I could also get paint from canadian tire which is damn close to being the same color as the car. but I dont think it woudl stand out that much. either way white or blue, yoru not goign to be able to see those subs with 5% tint on the back and 35% on the sides. but you'll be able to hear it.

cheers

theres a pic from farther away, looks to match very well to me, except the glare from the car.... box needs to be repainted but its awhile till its on the road... so many layers of paint on that thing now I'll probably use some paint thinner cuz a sander just get clogged up, unless anyone knows any other ways/

cheers

Bro, I think the blue looks too much like a Riceburner. I would carpet it with black carpet (or whatever carpet is in your ride). I know its traditional and all but it would look as if it belongs there, thats what I plan on doing.

Before you get berated, its not a "jap" car, its a "riceburner" you can get into all kinds of trouble with japanese, at least with riceburner, or fartcan, you are referring to the car, not the people. I was just trying to let you know, in case you got all kinds of negitivty from people in California, or Hawaii

so to most people i've asked they think it looks great.... so carpeting IMO and many others wouldnt' look as nice. so yoru saying that camaros just because they're not imports cant look nice? I think it totally goes with the car, something different that you dont usually see what you open a trunk.... unlike a carpeted box!

Don't get me wrong, I think its chillin but I would do the carpet. I like to keep as much space between me and the imports as much as possible. You asked for an opinion, I gave yoy mine. I think that the painted vynal and all that the imports have is hidious and so I personally wouldn't do it in my F-body. Thats me and my opinion.
