Agreed... please post some more details on how you got all the equipment...

I'm not a fan of the wheels but damn that is a nice ride. No wonder JP stuff is expensive.

yeh i got those parts from junk yard guys but those parts are actually brand new, i was lucky though...
as far as wiring goes, as long as you have the wiring harness from the NAvi car that they pull out from, then everything should be easy, i think any reputable radio/audio shop can do the job for you.
you need the computer/screen/DVD drive thats pretty much all

Default Navi unit

When you guys say Nav/ML, are you saying that the navigation system is from a Mercedes ML SUV converted into your GS?

Dang it... I have the worst luck finding things at junk yards! I always seem to get those guys who go "GS what?" "Lexus... haha, naww, we ain't got none a that fancy crap here"

Can either of you recommend a yard in Cali? I know most of them do internet business now, just not most of them here in Georgia.

Awesome work....

I agree, the paint, spoiler, wheels and JP pieces really look very nice.

That silver and other goodies = (cubed)

Then adding Navi and ML = (cubed)

hey wasup
it was REALLLY a pain in the *** dealing with those people who works for junkyard or have connections to junkyard, or maybe my experience wasnt that good... i would not recommend that guy however...
try to search the junkyard and then apply for parts that you needed and your request will be sent to all the places who might have the parts you want, and then start from there.
it is very TIME consuming and takes LOTS of patience to get it done i'd say

hmm...maybe that's not the best way I should proceed then...
i guess i got at least 2 options:

1. find aftermarket one

2. wait if you or another member would sell your setup

let me know though if the 2nd option becomes reality
