guess the owner is just lazy. i had mine like that but it really annoyed me coz i can't see the rear, and it an open invitation for someone to steal it. can't cover it up. so i learned to form fiber glass and made my own. and still retain the space for the roof panel.
hmmmmm. why not steal the car too while i'm at it. you know.

according to the auction, he paid someone to do it . . . . .
if it was DIY, then fine. but professional installers did that??
at least hide the amp somewhere!

Amps run hot enough as it is, without being in the sun too. I especially like the custom L brackets holding down the box, nice.

Damn that is disgusting. If anyone is in dire need of a sub box i am making a new one this week and would be able to sell this one. I dont expect much for it just thought it might help some listers out...

Bet the hold down screws went into the gas tank. E-mail him and ask if he has gas fumes in the car.

Sub boxes belong in a Porsche as much as 5" LED exhaust tips belong on F1 cars. hehe.

CUSTOM HEAD LIGHTS WHICH ARE CALLED HID LIGHTS 600$ THEY ARE VERY BRIGHT GOOD AT NIGHT THEY COME IN THE NEW BMWS
Uh, right............for some reason I doubt he has real HID's. I'd take Iceshark's kit over those any day.
