The new front looks great man. flows real well. big congrats. only thing I would suggest is that you have the mesh painted blk to match the blk mesh in the grill...well worth the wait

Moooooooooooooooooooo,
The car looks so good now bro I really am digging it. The front bumper really completes the car now. I like the choice of rear spoilers as well.

Oh and that Pioneer is really lookinh hot and what a clean install huh?

Hey varcity,
Ive been looking into double din nav units for my Gs for a while and after reading your post I leaned towards the D1.
This past friday I finally installed my D1 with a the IB-100 ipod connector and some cheap DVD in the glove compartment.
Im wondering if your having any problems with your sound and if you installed any kind of amps or if you just tapped into your stock Nak amp?
Im having problems with many different sounds coming out of all the speakers. The mid speakers have lows and highs coming out of them and my sub has mids and some vocals coming out of it. Wondering if you have any input (or anyone else)?
I love the D1 but I hate the freakin gyro thing that you cant input directions while driving. Did you find a way around the whole gyro thing?
The ipod connector didnt have as much functionality as I would have liked... Im used to browsing by artist, then album, then song... it seems that you go from artist right to song but theres no list of songs, you just have to keep scrolling through the songs one by one. Any feedback on that?
Thanks man... and by the way... your car looks awesome!!

whats up buddy, sorry i couldnt respond earlier... but i have NO problems w/sound. a small pioneer amp was used to get the sub to work properly. i think the amp will solve all your problems w/sound b/c i remember when i got it installed, i was told it can take like 4 hrs. extra to fix the sound in all the speakers if i didnt put the amp on b/c all the wires would have to be redone to the speakers. the gyro thing sucks, but o well... its kind of a good thing, it just makes it safer drivin i guess.. the iPod thing isnt the best, but it works so im happy. and thanks for the compliments man
