Default need ideas (pics incl)

im not to happy with how it looks. i think i need some black vinyl stickers or something to offset the white.

like make a spot for my sponsors or something

Well Ive had my ps2 in my car a for alittle bit now but im not really happy with how the setup looks. I wanted a couple of opinions.

Should I remake the entire cover around the tank and ps2 in fiberglass and get it painted?

or

should I just remake the part by the ps2 and make that fiberglass

or

What do you think i should do?

If you're looking for something a little different...
Put a piece of mirrored plexi on the surface that the amps sit on to set off the amps and make the tank stand out. Rework the area around the PS2 and do the same. Or what about a motorized drawer that hides the PS2 completely out of site when not in use? Just some ideas.

Motorizing is expensive...trust me. I'm taking my emergency brake handle out...it will be a PITA for sure.

I have a few questions:

1. What do the switches control? Why are they in the back seat? They should be up front IMO.

2. Are those hinges? What are those things that I see in the photo?

3. Put grilles in the rear speakers...it looks ugly without them IMO.

It's a bit monochromatic...it's hard to tell how it looks without seeing the whole car.

I'd work on those three things first....if you really want to work on the PS2, flush it in so that just the front panel shows.

the switches control....
1. my pressure switch for my air tank
2. my power for my ps2 air controller
3. my power inverter/screen
4. not hooked up yet.
they are pretty easy to reach. my seats go back right next to them. didnt want them up front because the led light on them is really bright up front.

those were hinges. those are already off. i wanted the whole top to flip up but the sides wouldnt allow so i just took them off and made sure the vinyl is stuck good so no hindges.

those are on now. just off for the pic because i reinstalled the panels.

take a look and lemme know what you think. i think im going to redo the amp cover and the tank cover to make it more round and flow with the interior.
