Wow... Your car looks great. After seeing the Pioneer headunit installed in your car: It's the first time I ever thought of replacing my factory unit completely. It looks great. Do you have any "daytime" pics of the center console without it lit up? I'd like to see how clean it looks that way.

Truly awesome!! You have great taste.

I didnt either but seriously... I had no intention of doing anything to my interior until i finished the outside.... But the pioneer went on sale and the corksport went on a group buy sale at the same time... So i jumped on it while i could and saved myself some money... I just charged it to my 0% interest credit card. I should get a phatty bonus check in may so ill pay it off then..... I hope... I just have to keep myself from taking that check and getting wheels and actually use it to pay off debt

Oh and thanks for the compliment it does look great but all the thanks goes to Jskup1. He really did all the hard work. He has the exact same setup in his car (which is sexy as hell BTW). Buy he did a great job making it look very clean, even the parts you cant see (all the wiring and what not) he hid everything really well.

We are actually going to a car show later today.... I thought about showing my car but i just don't think its ready yet... I need to get a rear bumper for my kit and SOME DAMN WHEELS to finish off my look first i think... Then i might feel a little more comfortable showing my car. If your in the Hampton Roads area and you want to go PM me and ill send you the info about the show

JJWASH45, I am seriously drooling over what you have done with the head unit here! Love it!!

I have some questions... In the picture of the head unit there is some areas on both the left & right side that is casting some shadows (red circles). Is this due to the tilting the top of the head unit for better visibility? At the bottom of the had unit there appears to be a gap (yellow circle) between the head unit and the Corksport Stereo Replacement Kit? Yous insight is greatly appreciated.

No i didn't tilt the screen... Thats just how it fits in.

Honestly i never noticed the gap in the bottom. I think it stands out more in the picture. It looks great in person. Also, I suck at taking pictures HAHAHA! Im very happy with the way it turned out.
