Wow Mo, you've come a long way baby!! (old cigarette slogan LOL).

The car looks nice man, and BR-5s are down in history as one of the best looking wheels made by Lowenhart (LR-5 is another fav). Kinda like Zauber Gettin, its a wheel thats looks equally good in chrome or brushed.

I wish I would have been there at Rayco today, I would have snuck back there and slammed the hell out of your car while you waited! LOL

The headunit looks great (I'm more of a flush-fan myself), and your right Jeff sucks at taking pics! LOL Seriously though, the guys over there are great and head-installer Josh really takes pride in his work. (I have to post pics of the camera he flush mounted into my 3rd brakelight lens).

Enjoy man, enjoy

thanks for all the compliments guys, i REALLY appreciate it. even tho my car is not nearly as nice as 1/2 the 2nd gen GS's out there, i know that i will eventually achieve the look i want. again, special thanks to Lexis11 and JohnGS4 for their help

NoS - thanks man!!

blu - its funny u mentioned that about Ken's car... his car IS my inspiration

alredexiii - from that pic, i guess it kinda does look like its rubbing, but im not too worried about that

blacksc400 - i would, but im not too thrilled about the front... yet

johnny - whats next??... well i have the ______ front bumper coming and the ________ rear spoiler on its way also... if the roof spoiler EVER makes it to me, ill have the Carson/Ugo roof spoiler as well. o yea, ill also have an exhaust on the way soon (and not what i told you before)

Neo - i cant wait either!!!

bklynGS - thanks and it is indeed fiber glass

jmjs23 - well, compared to many cars, im BARELY an infant. thanks

alfredo - u know all my secrets, SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

aristo - thanks man

ddarb - if ALL goes well, it should be done when i get back from vacation on July 11th (fingers crossed)

GSrich - i cant wait to see how well the _______ front bumper will look when im done

D - what can i say man, i love your car. i was never a fan of that color until you showed us what a little polish and more elbow grease can do to a car... i can ONLY aspire to hope i can obtain 1/2 that shine on my car

again, THANKS to all!!!

Guys this player does NOT play DVD's, you have to add a separate dvd player if you want to watch them on this screen. When we do these we will put the dvd player where the factory changer goes.

Varcity,
THe car looks awesome!!
Hopefully Ill be pickin up my 2nd gen GS4 today and I intend on putting that same unit in my dash.
How do you like the D1? Functionally? Aesthetiacally?

Lexis11,
You can put a DVD changer where the factory CD Changer is now????
I was told by my installer that cannot be done.
Further, I was thinking of using the factory CD Changer with the D1 than adding a single DVD in the center console. Can that be done?

Varcity, if you can use the stock and add the DVD, Id say you shoudl do that!!
Good luck man!!
