Did you guys make the door speaker pods? Id love to see a pic of the holder for the doors as well as how you cut the door to make them fit.

We discussed different options for the door speakers but found that we were very limited according to inner component clearances. We finally decided to just keep it simple yet effective and used an inner panel with a layout that worked and created the outer more visual parts to work around that layout. Here you can see that simple format. Also in the pic is the crossover electronics. I'll post the final door panel pics with pics of the completed interior soon.

Thanks Marty!

Some folks have asked about our new extended wheel tubs for the ExtReme subframe, here's a few shots of Sicario's. Note these will not work out of the box as is for any other subframe, they are contoured specifically for the ExtReme. The divits you see near the back side, omne near the brake master, are for the down tube brace bars.

Thanks Ben ... looks like a great fit for the new subframe Can you list the mounting points for me? What is the finish? raw fiberglass?

Thanks,

Michael

Michael- They come in a semigloss black gelcoat ready for finishing. Mounting uses most of the factory mount tabs. Some tabs may need to be bent slightly to make the angles the same as the tub surface. There is a factory firewall bracket that doesn't get used and will need to be trimmed to fit the larger tub. If you're running a clutch master with our bracket you will need to open a small hole in the driver's side tub for clearance. Overall It's a fairly easy installation.

More engine stuff, or rather how the exhaust fits with our extreme sub frames, torque arms and frame connectors. Several folks have been asking about this and as shown here we typically use dual 3" systems in most cars and send it out the back near the stock locations.

The entire system pretty much lays out like any typical system. Getting around the panhard bar is probably the tightest spot but can be done fairly easy with plenty of clearance. We use fuel tanks that are "notched" on the front corners to give us a little more wiggle room for routing tubes. Rick's tanks supplies us with these stainless tanks already built this way.

Note the first couple pics illustrate the channels that come with the ExtReme subframe connector kit to route fuel lines and e-brake cables.

Finally we're caught up and ready to post some final pics. Overall the car turned out great and our customer was completely blown away at the end results. I had a chance to drive the car out for a photo shoot, and it rode great, is super responsive, sticks to the road and has incredibly smooth power. Overall the drive matched it's great looks.
