Finally got around to lifting some pix off the hard drive. Some are retaken in a similar location, did a little bit of HDR work, I'm not the happiest with the result but it will have to do. Pictures will eventually come of the new head unit.

Car Looks Good Man..... I Know this Location i come here all the time for pics its like 3 minutes from my house in Heartland
I love the 2nd pic!!! The car looks so good blacked out!!! The GT tails remind me so much of a Lexus... Looks pimped!!!
****in flood lights...
good news dave, mark said he found a place in town that carries 3000grit sandpaper!!
Thanks guys.....and YES!!! Let me know when you guys get it and I'll be right over!
i pass by it every day, its at sherwin williams on vic and lackner
Alright so I finally got some pics going of the new deck. 6.5" DVD/VCD/MP3/MPEG Player. 4 x 45W. Aux in, TV in, Dual AUX out. DVD/SD/USB/CD.
I'm incredibly happy, not only does it fit well and look good, the output is so much better than before. Not only on the stock speakers but the sub as well. The same level of base is achieved with less volume and less gain (gain less by about 6!!!). I've upgraded from the Audiolink and 1GB card to an in deck SD 2GB card holding lots of songs and vids.
Although I've lost the steering wheel controls, I'm getting used to the remote which now that I've learned the controls is just as easy. The blue buttons are a nice contrast to the red and fit my blue/black/red theme well. I miss my reverse polarized display on the stock deck, but only because that took a lot of work.
The hardest part was getting it to fit flush, I had to grind away a decent amount off the dash kit to fit the unit but I'm happy with the result and you can't tell at all because all the removed plastic is out of view. I also had to install a support to hold up the deck as to make the kit fit flush with the rest of the dash, but yet again I'm happy with the result and the way I made it, it will reduce vibration through the deck as well. Now....to stop spending money....

That first shot of your screen looks mint, but be careful with that paint brush =P
The screen install looks clean, how well does the colour of the plastic match?
DOES IT PLAY DIVX?????
the color of the dash kit looks kind aliek how mine is, in the pic!
you can roll with the big boys now dave! but first....drop the slush box and snatch a stick...then ull have all my respect!!
I really like the look of the first picture.
The only thing I don't like about these kind of mod is the massive amount of empty space around the screen especially with that type of plastic. That's just me though.
lol, the second shot is actually a single image HDR (again)....I'm trying to fiddle around with it, but nothing is done paintbrush wise to the actual picture.Quote:

Lost out on DIVX, BTooth and Nav. Price was obviously an object, mind you I can add Nav through an auxilary input.Quote:

It a lot of space at first, but in the cabin its not that bad. Passenger's focus on the screen and mention that it looks clean and OEM style, not to much lost space. But there definitly is a lot of space.Quote:

hahah, thank you for admitting to that one1!!!Quote:

May I add, its not an effect, HDR is a technique!

HEHE Couldn't resist not keeping the 3 all black!!! The nextmod sticker is hype!!! Love the contrast!!! I guess Peter decided to keep the decal 2 tone... LOOKIN GOOD BRO!!
hehe, I don't know how long that decal will stay their. I've considered doing the white stripes along the doors nextmod supported, but we'll see. Gotta keep the theme.
Until I get my lip, the butt of my car is still my favorite part.
Definitely like how the pics are coming along...the ride looks badass material.

Now that I'm on the pro-kits I rub at full steering lock, and also over large bumps. Only in the front though.
A little bit of a teaser here :)
