After reading a post on a Civic Type R Forum, I discovered that a company made custom boxes to house Subs & Amps that fit into the rear wheel arch space in your boot. I needed these as I require boot space for work to carry tools and other bits n bobs, I found a guy who was selling a set who didn't live too far away so I contacted him & arranged to pick them up off him. This is what they looked like!

 

I thought they looked plain and boring...so i started to strip the carpet!



It really was stuck down well...so it wasnt easy! Sad But i got there in the end Smiley This is what they looked like





Next task was to cover them in foam, so they felt a bit nicer to the touch, I put one layer on the front of the box, then another layer on the whole of the box.





Next I cut the hole! Then starter putting the leather effect vinyl on the front.



This really wasn't easy to do, but I got there in the end, I stopped taking pictures at this point lol, but I have some of them when they're pretty much finished.







So all i have left to do is put the sub cone in, then it should be finished Smiley

This is when i took my old Head unit out...the dash was in pieces!  :x


Its easy after you've done it once though Smiley

And my tints...80% all round.



I will update once the sub and new head unit are in etc Smiley

Yeah 80% is dark...I love it though Smiley

Im having second thoughts about the boxes, Im not sure if i should take them to a place and get them done in Alcantara or something, I'm not an upholsterer so i struggled to do an amazing job...not too bad though for a first attempt  Cheesy

"I'm very excited, a little bit nervous,mbt shoes clearance," said Lewis Chappelear, who teaches engineering and design at North Hills High School,cheap mbt shoes, north of Los Angeles.
"I love roller coasters,mbt shoes, I love being on boats, but I'm scared that I'm going to get sick. Although I heard that you do not get motion sickness when you're up there."
Indeed, trapped inside a windowless Boeing 727 with surfaces covered with bump-defying sponge material, the "astronauts" prefer to forget that the plane is climbing at an angle of about 45 degrees.
