The mess that is my trunk

Has anyone here had a pro do their setup?

I'd kind of like to get two fiberglass boxes made that form to the sides of my trunk then something that isn't too ugly in the middle to hold Amp + Cap.

I'm thinking it should cost like $400-$500 for shop time and parts to do the fabrication.

Sound about right? or am I wayyy off.

You're probably in for twice that or more.

I've done some fiberglass work before its not fun. Takes alot of time, patients, and money to do a really clean job.

I dont usually touch 'glass for anything under $500 (unless its something small)
Full trunk with a rack would probably run you at least $1200

And finding a good guy to do it is sometimes a challenge as well.

I figure that would start about $1500 or so, as far as a rough guess, but of course there is always options and upgrades.

im thinking about fiberglassing my a-pillars to fit a set of component speakers myself. how much does everyone think this should run me? no labour of course but materials wise and difficulty?

^ Depends on finishing materials. $50-200.

Difficulty - depends on your desired result: hidden/flush/exposed pod; flush/top/no grille. Average to advanced.

You could spend a couple grand and have em pointed at the floor... lol, you can ignore that..
