some pics of my taxi

Im usually not the type of person who likes to post pics of my own van until i am completely finished and satisfied
since i got some request for the interior reappolstering and the curtains, i thought i might as well show what i have done so far

so insights -  since im in the car more than seeing it from outside, i decided to spend more details on the interior of the van first

some things i have done the past year:

INTERIOR
limosine style 4 seater
custom chandelier with led's for light
hardwood floor
front table
center table
custom dual woofer box with 7" screen
dual 10" infinity kappas
3.5" infinity rear speakers
curtains on all 6 windows
reappolstered doors in black suede
pillar roof lighting on all six pillars
floor lighting
customized center audio console
total of 44 led's: in all door pockets, door underside puddle lights, red blind line led's

EXTERIOR
euro clear smoke tail lights
led license plate led's
underside puddle lights
black out inside grille
chrome moldings
all taillight bulbs changed to led's

SUSPENSION
modified GAB coilovers
mugen rear toe adjuster
energy suspension bushings
F18x8 +45 R 18x8 +42 Work euroline DH

currently on order are 25mm spacers up front and 45mm spacers for the rear. Im not liking my stance at all so im kind of pissed the spacers are taking so long to come in.
side table, woodgrain dash trim kit, light up coasters
ill also be lowering it about an inch more next spring when i order some swift springs,
and most likely upgrade my wheels to F:19x9 +11 and R: 19x10 +10ish (-_^) d

i know im forgetting some stuff but i just cant remember right now but i still have a lot planned for this van

anyways some pics with my not so good camera (i need a slr (T-T) )
car is on a slope so it is hard to tell how low it actually is and how the chandelier is tilted

[SIZE=7]:signdammit: wow thats hot...[/SIZE]

That is amazing. I am seriously thinking of customizing a van.

LOL that is soo cool!! sorry thats the first thing that I wanted to say.
But yeah this van is nice...good job on the hardwood flooring.

I never come into this section of the forum but the title made me laugh.  I love the interior, looks like you can rent it out as an apartment.  Good job, cant wait to see it done.

The hardwood, pillar lights and chandelier give it a real classy look! Nice job! Did you do the pillar lights yourself or is there a kit?

:biggthumpup: . you and rasrx7 are making me want to get one even more

Interesting van. Props on the chandelier. :smiley:

Finally I get to see some pics!!!

Thats hella sexy..I'm really liking the interior!! All those LEDs make it look like a bar..Now I got some ideas..J/K

Are you able to get those dash tables??? Let me know..I'm really interested in them..

Keep us posted on the progress of the build!!

awesome gotta tell me where you got the chandelier.progress pics are always fun..wow..gotta rethink my interior setup now...you beat me to the punch....just awesome...exactly what i had in mind...

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;90562]I never come into this section of the forum but the title made me laugh.[/QUOTE]
Hahahaha, me too.  Now you can have ballroom dancing!!!

so is that really ur taxi????

A classy Bangbus! :smiley-rofl: 
J/k I like it :biggthumpup: 
and I'm sure the females do too! :giggity:
 
You should take a pic w/ a red carpet outside the door and line of chicks waiting to get in! hahahahaha!

the hardwood floors are phase 2
when i had the middle seats, i put in my first set of hardwood floors by cutting around the seats and i got quite the positive feedbacks from my peers
after a while i noticed most of the time i drive only myself or 1 or 2 people and i dont need 6 seats.
so i took out the middle seats, made some brackets and redid the whole wood flooring to limosine style

as for the pillar lights, i bought them a year ago at mitaka autobacs as a set of 4. until i got back home, i realized i had a total of 6 pillars so i bought an additional pair and put them in the back. 
the pillar lights came with a dimmer controller since i was only using 2 of the 4 outputs available, i decided to rig up a couple led's into the chandelier.

im going to order some side tables for the back passengers and get some light up coasters when i get some more funds
but im desperately needing wheel spacers and leather seat covers (T-T)

i like u interior light ...luxury feel...

imo, the interior lighting will look better in yellow colored lights than white blue:smiley:
btw i hope the leathers are coming for the interior :biggthumpup:

Looks great!  I have had limo style seating in my other van and passengers (especially tall people) absolutely loved it.  That chandelier is awesome and inspiring.  I only have one of those water glitter tubes in my van.

Keep up the great build up and dont be shy with the pictures!

the color of the led's are actually white. it looks a lot better in person
it just looks blue because of my camera setting and exposure time. once i get a hold of a slr camera, ill get some more realistic pics (-_^) d

i had blue in it before, but white just looks more classy and easier on the eyes

The Ody is bangin bro I'm diggin all you've done...keep it moving

The van is put together very well. All done in very good taste as well. Great job...definately unique....I have nothing but props for ya bro.

WOWWW !!! Your interior is very luxurious. I like it.

you have fucking hardwood floors...that is so badass.

[QUOTE=gh0st;91494]you have fucking hardwood floors...that is so badass.[/QUOTE]


My Sentiments exactly. "Ball up" hahaha

I was seriously expecting to see a taxi though. :sad:

fuckin pimp, brahh.

Very nice and unique!  Love your lighting and interior.  The chandler does look a little dangerous though... but i'm sure you screw them on tight.

holy shit i like where this is going

do you think the oddy can fit 19x8.5+33 front and 19x9+27 rear?

damn, that's sexxy.  i'm loving the hardwood flooring and the led's in the door.

amazing

sweet ride!!!

One of the baddest van-o-sine (limosine) I have ever seen!

thas pretty nuts... nice work

i did the hardwood in my trunk, haha

This is just reasuring me that an RA1 is the way to go. Looks good

nice work. Props on the work

damn that looks sick with all those lights. I especialy like the ones in the handles...

very nice, you should get leather seats in though.

looks good

Sorry, my webstorage provider shut down so all the links do not work

I havent got much of an update, just put on the origin kit unpainted black to test fit and test fit some new wheels
I'll get them up within a couple hours (^3^)y-~~~~

this spring i test fit the body kit.
at first i was going to take it off and get it painted, but i liked the two tone color so i left it for the summer
wheel spacers never came in as it was lost during transport.

will lower it another inch and a half for next spring
i never got around to take pics of the van when clean.. (@_@)

It's not too bad actually
the wheels are 19x10 +2 TT7R
I still have about an inch to inch and a half i can lower till the wheels touch the lip of the fender
i still havent pulled the fender at all, just a roll and once the camber kit comes in, it wont be too much of a problem

awesome..looks good...i just put a pair of 18x10 +4 on the rear of my van with 225/40/18s on them...not too bad...i rolled out my fenders on the new van..and it only rubs on harsh bumps..camber kit would do wonders!! :biggthumpup:

are their any pics of the front with the kit? looks great!

You guys are so lucky that you guys have the "option" of camber.

Sukoshiyoshi

its alittle more adjustability then what the previas in the us have, but not nearly enough as most ody guys want...

looks great, lovin the lights on the headliner. amazing looking van cant wait to see the new wheels on.

MORE PICS!

i love this van!

Looks very nice. 
 
Are you on the west or east side of Canada?

very nice! i like it just need to spray it!

did you take off your sideskirts to jack up the van?

sorry i lost a lot of my pictures i took of the front of the van
ill see if i can find any 

as for the side skirts. yes i took them off to jack up the van
i only had 2.5" of clearance all around and in order to do any work underneath the car, i had to take the side skirts off to access the jacking point.
even putting 2x4 under the tires were a lot of trouble for me because of the body kit
