I need some ideas, I went and had a custom trunk priced and its a good deal, problem is I have no idea how I want it to look. If anyone has seen a fabricated trunk online and it looked good could you send me a link or tell me the general area. I have been looking at cardomain but damn that is alot of cars to look through. Thanx in advance for any help you can give..

k so I've been around this forum for a couple of months now just keeping silent but I decided to throw in my question too...oh yea, please don't grill me on my nick, it's one I've had for a while, being a big Honda fan.

Anyway, so I've contemplating replacing all four stock speakers in my 2002 P5 with either Infinity Kappas or JL Audio XRs...I'll go with 5x7 front coaxials and probably 6.5 rear coaxials (maybe 5.25 if I need the extra cash), but I'll need a decent 4-chan amp for them because I haven't yet changed the stock HU (I was actually looking into the JL Audio 300/4). So once I saw your post Bigwoofer I kinda figured why not post this cuz you're using the same JL Audio equipment I was looking at.

So I know that both Infinity Kappas and JL Audio XRs are both pretty damn good, I just wanna know which one is better for the price. Just curious, but anyone know where I can find a stock in-dash CD changer for less than retail price? I'll try the For Sale forum in a bit but I'm in no mood to pay $500+ for the CD changer right now.

Thanks guys, this is a sweet forum and my car is just great. I had a 1990 Legend with 172K miles before this one and honestly I couldn't really part with it that easily and drop from a V6 ~200 hp to an I4 ~130 hp but the handling just blows every car I've ever owned away.

NSXdemon-
I have run JL, and use a 300/4 amp now. I have had both JL speakers and Infinity. Number one would be listen to both and decide which you like the sound of.
Second, older Infinity was a little less efficient, 88 DB SPL. Newer is much much better, 90,91 SPL. JL has always been very efficient.
SO- this is a cop out answer (maybe) but the JL amps are simply fantastic for the dollar value, they out perform some signifigcantly more costly amps. Both types of speaker are highly thought of, with infinity sell more units that JL in a year. Pick the speakers by sound.

What type of materials are you wanting to use, MDF, wood, particle board, fiberglass?
How much are you willing to give up here in day to day usefulness, like a spare, or room, or ride or performance?

They are a discontinued Enkie Rim - the SHOGUN

I really like them. They are a true directional rim also. You get 2 lefts and 2 rights.

hmm rotating your tires would mean that you would have to take them off the rim...?

Rotating the tires is ALOT of work. The rims are directional and the tread is directional. Everything comes off and gets switched...
