Default Next week!

I just placed half a dozen orders for my car stereo today. As SOON as I have all of my parts I will be installing 2 new headunits, new speakers, a sub and some amps. I will let you know how it goes!

Default It'll be great!

A Kenwood CD player and an empeg MP3 player - once I have everything I will not rest until all is working perfectly (and looks good too!).

I'll post as I go!

Default Yes... I posted them last week:

They are kinda big, I didn't bother shrinking them before I posted... This link is to my posts:

And BTW, the white looks AWESOME, if you haven't seen it in person, make sure you do, it looks much better in person than on the website\in the catalog. I would also highly recommend the onyx\silver alcantara interior, it makes it look nice and sporty!<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/s4/msgs/162864.phtml">Pics of my car!</a></li></ul>

Default Re: Yes its altered with my right index finger buy pressing the shutter on the camera...

What the hell are you talking about? If you have any idea what your talking about you'll know thats simply a flash over filling and reflect off the alum face plate. So what is your point?

Default Looks great! Big headache?

Did you do it or have a stereo shop or something do it? Do you have any tips? I am thinking that I am going to start with a sheet of ABS plastic and do about what you did.

Did you start with a sheet of aluminum, and just trace and cut?

It looks like a damn close match between the aluminum and the silver trim, I'm impressed! I would appriciate any tips you may have.


Thanks!
