I will then laugh at it being a Dodge
have fun with that gas mileage
If I wanted milage, I'd buy a TDI
If you wanted a fast car, maybe you should have bought one

^ditto, although the shit I want for my car is expensive, so all it will probably see for awhile is a bit of paint, not the RS Fenders and quarters, Rear, Sideskirts, or the wings west WRC front, a bigger turbo would be nice too, with a nice big FMIC to fill that front, maybe another smaller turbo for the hell of it in addition, gutted inteor might be nice, a cage, CF hatch, RS brakes/suspension and maybe big brake kit for that, centerline 18" wheels
painting it will be much cheaper, and I think I may just make it a nicer daily driver
honstly thinking of pulling the engine and putting a stock low mileage one in to eventually use the other one in some kind of project, also thinking of getting the SVT suspension to make it nicer for just driving on pothole filled roads
*all spare parts would be used again

and a svt swap is too expensive? stick wit the car you got remember if you go wild it becomes a race car and race cars are not daily drivers. keep your mods simple and efective, you most likely will enjoy it better. 


My box is done and installed!!

You suck. Where's my box now? I was gonna start my box, but it got hit, so I've been more worried about getting it back together. I'm thinking I might start it this weekend. Alan any pics of what you did?
Pants too tight, wheels so bright!

If you are 21, then its time to get a lic to buy pistols, and a CCW

Thats along the lines of what my box was going to look like, but, more tucked into the fender, I don't have a slocus so to finish it is like meh...
I uhhh... maybe didn't take any pictures. I kinda thought I had, but I can't find them so I must not have. At any rate, I put some 1/4" foam around the area to compensate for the thickness of the fiberglass, covered the area with alum foil and tape, and then slapped some 'glass up there, kind of like this:

Then, I cut a piece of cardboard out to fit the shape, cut it out of wood, screwed a wood protrusion on the top, and then joined the two together. Then, I pulled some fleece on the part that would have been impossible to glass in the car. Then, I glassed everything probably 1/4". Then, I cut the hole for the sub. I'm not sure how scotty8 intended to recess the sub box any further, but I had to take the magnet cover off my ID 10v.3 off to get it in the box, and its a pretty shallow sub. There are 3 angle brackets screwing it to the trunk, and the top just kinda flops a little bit. I need to secure it, but haven't had time
