I think I am going to go back to white in the cluster, red is too for raze

Like the chrome on the stereo isnt :razz:

[alpinaclone]

I don't know why car stereo manufacturers think that everyone likes their shit looking like it was styled by Liberace.

[Jean]

I was thinking about painting the outer trim black, might do that.

my dad has that head unit in his car. dont like it. hope you get another one.

[Jean]

Works fine. I've had headunits that cost more than an e30 (ampless alpine with 24bit burbrown dacs) but this does everything it needs to do just fine for $150.

[Jean]

Got the overhead panel swapped for a mint one, original one had the vinyl seperating from the board in places.

Before:


After:


M-techI wheel, thanks Bruce!



Shot of basic interior, with dirty carpet, I need to clean it.



Washed it, need to polish and wax still to get rid of the water spots...maybe next week.

[deutschman]

yeah it just feels really funky. but i know it does what it should. makes my dad happy.

[SpartanTiger81]

How much are you going to sell her for? I wouldn't mind purchasing it, as is..I would have to sell my car first though..

[Jean]

She won't be up for sale until I get her lowered, put a new top end (rebuilt head, cleaned up manifold, tb, injectors, oil pans are sitting on the shelf just need to order new gasket kits) and throw m-tech1 front/rear valances on her. Maybe then I'll change my mind ...
