Some sick set-ups in here guys, keep them coming!!

 

How come some look so generic/plastic compared to others???

 

Probably JDM vs. Metra kit.

And year differences too (03-04 vs. 05)

 

Yep, compare the kits in posts 209 and 223:

JZ's JDM kit - Ozz's Metra Kit

 

Yea, the difference is in the finish. The Metra kit color is off for sure, but it really stands out more in pictures than in person. I don't really mind it.

For the price different of the JDM kit, it'd be cheaper to just buy some paint and shoot the Metra kit to match. Of course, that depends if you've got the equipment or a hookup to do it. I got the Metra for $100 from Crutchfield because I purchased my DD deck from them; it was hard to consider almost 3x the cost for the JDM.

Just wondering is there anyway i can just cut out my oem faceplate to put a DD in thr? I wanna keep my dual & don't really want to spend over 250 for the JDM finisher?
i have an 03 5at btw

 

Well, you have to spend the $150 for a JDM a/c controls anyway, you might as well spend the other $150 to get the rest of the JDM trim. Keeping the dual is as simple as spending 5 min with a soldering pen:

You can modify the factory trim to house a JDM trim, but your skill with a dremel dictates how well it turns out. Here's a thread by somebody who did a pretty good job:

I rather have my iPod hidden and I wanted that "little bit" extra screen .

Bluetooth was pretty cool when I briefly had the 3300, however I don't see myself using it that often which resulted another reason to change.






I ordered a shorter ipod cable so I don't have to keep bringing down my home ipod cable(see pic #3).

 

Thanks for the props, looks like it turned out great.

 

man, i need to step up my system.

 

If u do the swap can u still access the radio from ur steerin wheel?

 

Yes.
