Project Probe

97' Ford Probe GTS
Recently I realized the majority of my clients were getting more and more into the sport compact car scene. I needed a car that appealed to them, enter a 97' red Ford Probe GTS with white racing stripes and factory chrome wheels (for now). The system needed to be flashy, show off what I can do with fiberglass but also be upgradeable. I needed to be able to highlight my high end equipment, however that changes from year to year so the system need to be modular so equipment can be swapped out. With this design the carbon fiber trim panel can stay in place, new subs can be swapped in with the simple change of a sub box, same with the amprack. In fact the amprack is designed so that the 3.0's can be swapped for 6.0's and double power without any rebuild, along with swapping the 2.5x for a 4.0x by simply making a new mounting base.

The hatch hold lots of Image Dynamics, Zapco and hand layed carbon fiber

More of the hatch area.

Rear seat flipped down, more carbon fiber

New center console/ armrest (looks factory doesn't it)

Arm rest opened and drawer pulled out. Zapco EQ30's for up front tuning

New radio trim piece, more carbon fiber. Notice the flushed in Zapco SX-SL

Image Dynamics componets in new kickpanels. Factory kick panel was grafted into the new panel for a good fit.
