Some questions Dave:
Are you removing or modifying the seat latches? They kind of disrupt the really smooth lines you've created with the H900 trim panel.
That rear deck is sweet, deffinitely the way to go with that much power on tap. I had a sound deadening battle with my rear deck cover that has ended with me thinking of doing something like you have. The only difference would be that I'd 'glass right down to the aluminum so that only the driver faces were visible. Keep in mind my aluminum isn't nearly as "finished" as yours is. You certainly got a bargain for $120.
You mentioned earlier about filling the dash module with sand. Was that to measure available volume for the subwoofer, or are you actually going to use sand to sound deaden?
I'm sure you've hear this before, but will you have functional HVAC after the dash is complete? I know you guys get a lot of rain out there, so I can't imagine living without a window defroster.
Great work so far, keep the progress pictures coming!

those rear seat mounts are very important, there is really no other place to put them, cant go wider and definitely cant go up
the sand was used to figure volume not deadening, keep in mind that when its all over there will be 3 individual boxes on top of the dash, left, right and center woofer
there will be defroster vents on either side of the woofer, custom mandrel bent 1" aluminum tubes that will attach to the heater box theat will attach to 2 custom made cnc'ed 3/16" aluminum vents, the car will also only have 1 windshiled wiper in the center the drivers was removed because it was obstructing the construction of the drivers side midrange box. i will only lose about 10% of the coverage of both with 1 and will help compensate with a longer one in the middle
adam we dont get much rain here, there was only 1mm of registered moisture in december and only 2mm so far in march, i live in the desert her not like the rubber boot wearing guys on the coast
