    Default GTC Project... The Whip Gets Naked...

    So I'm staring a new Project car for a customer. It is a 2007 Bentley GTC.
    So me being me though I would start and continue to up date the thread as I go along with the work on the car. From start to hopefully Completion in 3 or so months. Baby Steps I know but it is going to be a budget build as well the most bang for the dollar. So here the teaser photos.

    Any Ideas will be noted.

    When dealing with these highend cars how difficult is it to disassemble them? What precautions do you have to take with them?

    Talking STAGE ONE COMPLETE.

    So as of last night we finished Stage 1 of the overall project. We added some bass and improved the front stage as well as added the Mansory Front lower grills in Chrome. The audio upgrade was simple. We replaced the front mid and pillar tweeter with Focal 165VR poly glass speakers. We add 2 JL Audio 8" W3 Subs in a Custom Forced Loaded Box ported in threw the rear arm rest. A Rockford 3 Sixty 2 was used to EQ the upgrade and we added 1 Alpine PDX4150 for the Highs bi-ampped as well as a PDX6100 to push the bass. Because we Bi-ampped the system ALL DSP FUNCTIONS WORK AND THE CROSSOVER IS ACTIVE IN THE CAR. We also added an Ipod to the raido by creating an aux input. Basic Simple and clean and like most my installs we hid the amps and box.

    Coming Soon to an L4p near you Stage 2 -Mansory interior upgrade and exhaust.

    Looking clean! You have any plans other than the grille and audio?
