sup people, i promised some shots of the car back in my intro thread. it's a2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6 dont remember how many ponnies its got but fuel cuts at 129, and thats miles p/h. most mods were done by me. i replaced the lights behind the main gauges with blue LEDs. radio console was modified, pretty much filled din size whole under radio. installed switches for interior neons, motorized side mirrors and volts gauge. it also house an alpine IVA series Flip out touch screen that plays pretty much everything, cds/dvd/vcds, mp3s, am/fm. has an interface for ipods, nav, xfm but never really hooked them up. i used to have 2.5" screen molded on the A pillar but that got burned in an accident that involved water, long story short water covered the 18" wheels i had before :? . inside there's not much besides a pair of 6" and 6x9 JL speakers and amp. outside mods include a full fiberglass threatment( front, sides, rear and vented hood) i myself molded the rear bumper to the quarter panesl, i painted the stock 16" wheels black and actually look bigger. the side mirrors are motorized and have blue lights and i had to mod those to fit since they're from a honda. Most companies out there dont manufacture many parts for the car since it's actually ment to be a 4 door family sedan lol. now for the trunk :twisted: it houses a custom ported box. front panel is actually 1 1/2" thick while everything else is 1". front of the box has 3 12" W7 subs from JL. warranty only covers up to 1800 watts, but can go all the way up to 2300 watts each. on the top there's 3 500/1 amps, from JL. each one pumps 500 watts at 3 ohms. somewhere in the future i would love to upgrade to the 1000/1 amps, pretty much would be doubleing the watts that go to the subs. each subs has its own amp. the main artery to all the madness is a 0 gauge, thats right 0 as in zero, that goes from the battery to the power blocks. rca and other wires are all JL brand.
here's the kicker, it's never been to any shows or sound comps. i pretty much modified the car for my sheer enjoyment. i dont street race either, i've actually made my car slower with everything that has gone in. too much talking here's the pics

Someone should take a LCD display and a small in car pc (pico itx anyone) and set it up with sensors to monitor what all of the gauges do and then have readouts on the LCD.

that'd be cool. Switch between analog and digital gauges, too. Or STi gauges, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Corvette, F-1, etc.
