Look the same as my "eyelids" I made out of ductape. On silver cars it looks schmick, matches the nissan colour-code so well you can't even tell its tape ;) That being said...I think his are a bit more professional than the old tape-mod and are just still in primer, lol

I would say he'd prob install a plexiglass logo with backlighting to make it look sweet. Otherwise most people would install crossovers in that position but its rather big for that.

Ive got Boston Pro 60 SL speakers.. The cross overs are quite big and a twin setup would easily cover that space. You should see inside heatsinks are massive.
