Local dubber and creator of 2point5 spec.dock, Matt Turner, just wrapped up a project featuring an orange New Beetle 1.8T. It’s a wicked nice design and some key features are incorporated well. Personally, I don’t like the placement of the iPod dock within the dash but it looks insanely factory.
I’m one who needs his trunk space. However, Phil doesn’t seem to miss it. 2 JL 10′s are seated in the shell along with a JL 500/5. Very trick.
I’d like to see that Turbo S exterior trim? Since I’m not up around Jim Ellis VW much, I should do a drive by.. now that I have an iPod, I should ring Matt up!
Ran into my friend Phil at J.E. Volkswagen today, and he seemed just a little hurt that the install I did a few months ago in his 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle Turbo hadn’t made it on the site yet. I think I may have even seen a little tear fall (haha). So…here she is, dude. Phil seems to have a bit of an affinity for a certain color, so when it came time to trim out the trunk and change out some equipment, I really had no choice but to go for it. I really ended up liking the contrast between the bright VW OE color and the brushed aluminum finsh on the JL 500/5 we were adding, so I chose JL 10w1v2s in silver and added a few silver accents to tie it all together. This being one of my jobs, of course there’s an iPod dock in the top of the dash as well…The 500/5 powers the factory components front and rear as well as the 2 10s. Overall, it’s pretty amazing what the “pumpkin” ended up sounding like. By the way, the car also sports Turbo S exterior trim, colormatched 17s and interior along with a few APR and Neuspeed goodies. Thanks, Phil for your help with the new venture thus far. I’m coming to get that new ride soon – a new project awaits…
