Very tidy! Like what you've done with it, the bumpers look loads better black, nice stance too.

Ace project, looks really smart. Its got all the parts I wanted for mine. It'll be a little flyer when you've got it done. My old one always felt reasonably nippy, and that was a thrashed 1.2 |

I'd lose either the sub or the 6x9's. They cancel each other out.
When the bass hits, it will push air out and push the 6x9's out when they are trying to move in with the bass.
In short, you'll break them and they will sound naff.

Nice to see a Nova that's not been ruined by fibreglass and neons.
Nice car, tastefully modified.
