xbox my friend ^^^^^^^^
there ok theres nothing to fancy about any of them, I think cleaning up some of your wiring would make it look a little better, the xbox is unique, i would have made some sort of cover plate for it

If you did the springs that lowered the rear end, I would need a picture of those. If the car is just lower because you have that much weight in the car, you might think about getting different springs/struts.(some people still call the rear ones shocks, but they really aren't). The interior installs were very hap-hazard. As if they were just put where-ever you had an inkling to set it up at the time. I great install looks like it is part of the car when it's done. As far as wire handling, try some zip ties and wire tamers till you can feed the wire behind a panel. that looks much more professional. use electrical tape wound in an even fashion around the ends where they spread out for the wire harness. Hopefully, when you tapped into the power under the hood, you didn't leave the wiring all over. it NEEDS to be secured so it won't burn, short, or cause any number of problems. Any penetrations through metal panels need to have a rubber electrical grommet to prevent the wires from getting cut. I always seal the extra space with silicone to keep the 2 sides separate.
I'm not saying it's a bad install, but it does need cleaning up.
The equipment looks nice, but it needs to be integrated more. that is when you can start calling it a custom install.
I'm not trying to tear you down, but a bit more fore-thought into your projects is needed. Ask the people on here if you aren't sure about how to do something. A lot of us do our own work and don't mind sharing our knowledge. Helping each other is what we're here for.
