if you don't have the double din navi, thats a must. it takes years off the interior of the car. plus you can't beat the functionality.

after that i would probably do the retrofit. but cost wise, i think the visors and puddle lights are more realistic.

but of those three, i say double din navi. with the economy the way it is right now, there are alot of good steals for electronics now too.

Yea the double din navi sounds good. I'm looking to upgrade my interior. Where's a good place to look for it and what would be a good price?

doubled in is something you will be able to enjoy all the time so i vote for that! But do puddle lights too cause that ish will look damn gangster when its aired all the way down. I've seen some ebay kits for like 30 bucks.

Tied between double DIN and the retrofit...um... ...probably more daily enjoyment from the double DIN than the rest. If you don't go with top of the line, you can probably get away with doing it for a few hundred bucks, eh?

get a used one from the classifieds or something. If you don't wan't to run an aftermarket sub just get some quality coaxial rear speakers and a good amp. That will provide you with some quality sound in the cabin.
