+1

I saw the same thing and the guy was completely stunned with the amount of work he had to put into it. Scew it and get the double din touch screen or digital wheelz.

Thanks for all the compliments.....I should answer a few questions that were asked....The stock Navi works perfect with this setup. I had the Navi conversion done at Car Toys here in Seattle. They removed the DVD rom from stock location and moved it to the trunk. I had the Alpine DVD player mounted in it's location. (oh by the way the stock wiring harness for Navi is not long enough to go all the way to trunk. custom harness was made) I purchased this new (at the time) Vehicle Hub System by Alpine. All my componants run into this hub. Also have a RGB switch to interupt video from stock Navi to Vehicle hub. So if I want to use my Navigation I hit the switch up and if I want to watch a movie I hit the switch down. I have two custom switches placed right next to DVD player. The other switch is for the emergency brake bypass. Ok now thats out of the way...I think the Skyline badge placed in the center of the trunk lid rather down low makes the car look cleaner. If I had the Nissan badge on as well I would move it down but I dont. I got the grill from Bulletproof Automotive but I took out the mesh it came with and installed a custom mesh. Also not pictured I have the Skyline door sills. It goes in next week for black suede inserts in seats and door panels. Thanks again....

Sweet Pics

Those pics, especially in the first set, are awesome creative wise - what camera did you use out of curiosity?

That's a clean ride!

I'm normally not a fan of debadging. (just my personal pref) But I have to say your car looks awesome. Simple, clean and well thought out.

This is probably ignorance on my part - but how did you hook up the sirius to your navi?? That's nice - right now I have my Sirius receiver with all the nasty wires in my coupe.
