Some PICS of some of my work...

Recently finished this car. 1993 Mercedes-Benz S500. 20" Lexani Rims.

Put in a Pioneer Driveout, 4 Pioneer Headrest TVs, and 2 Sharp 10" TVs in the Trunk. Custom Sandblasted Acrylic sigh lit up in red neon. 4 10" RF Punch HX2 Subs fiberglassed in the back deck. 4 Pioneer Amps, 1 RF Power BD1500.1 amp in trunk. This thing had 12 sets of regular speakers, but I can't name them all. I finished this car a while ago, but I haven't had time to post pictures. Unfortunately, the size limit makes the pcitures kind of small, but I will post what I can. This isn't all my work alone, but I had a big hand in it. Enjoy!

Headrest and Driveout Shot.

so i gotta say this. we had a car at my shop with NINE monitors in the cabin, it was an escalade, one in each headrest, two flip down 15" monitors and of course hte indash screen.

he brought it to us to install four 15L7's.

when we first saw it, we especailly noticed the headrest monitors in teh BACK TWO seats. just like this lexus.

and we all instantly thought the same thing. So now I ask you guys to make bets with me on this lexus, concerning the same issue.




how big do you think his ***** is? Im guessing its
----->|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|<------ this big.
----->|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|<------ limp.

Actually, there are 4 yellow tops in total, 2 under the rear seat in the stock battery location. Benz Batteries are about the length of 2 regular batteries. We also upgraded the Alternator to a high output Ohio Generator model. We used 2 different kinds of amps because, while Pioneers are great for running speakers, for Rockford Amps, Rockfords really work the best. The reason most of the work is done in the trunk is this car was never designed/built to be a show car, it was never entered in any sort of contest, the guy who owns this car drives this thing everyday. Besides the 4 headrest TVs and the 4 Subs fiberglassed into the back deck (Picture Pending) it has a pretty plain apperance on the inside. Milwaukee is a great city, but we have crime issues as well, so the owner wanted to keep it more low-key. We added a Python 880XP 2 Way Trandponder Alarm/Remote Start to this car. The customer can also control the trunk lid via aircraft linear acctuator motors, with a button in car or with the Remote Transponder. Hoenstly, I didn't really like the setup of the install, but I had to go with what my customer and the boss worked out for design. Not my style at all, and the whole time I was doing the install I was thinking, what a waste. 4 or the 7 TVs can't be seen from inside the car. But, it's not my car...so yeah. I always see useless cars, but I have respect for those who built them.

Yeah, actually, futurersxswap has seen a Red Yukon I did with 2 Visor TVs, a Drive Out, 4 Headrest TVs, a monster 20" Flip down in the center, and 2 15" Flip downs right at the rear of the wehicle. Someone also added a Widescreen Plasma TV behind the Middle Seats, facing the back of the car.

It was just too much, too Gaudy, but hey...Not my car...

money is a wonderful thing to have, but a killer design schema can't always be bought.

just cause you care about wheel horse power gains doesnt mean everyone does. obviously this guy doesnt, so he doesnt run a stripped car with no interior paneling other than the drivers seat, a car that smalls like leaking oil and a turbocharger thats so loud its nearly not street legal.

I assume yoru car isnt like that either. why not? you can gain performance that way!

oh wait, functionality DOES have a priority over performance..... =/
