Welp, did an oil change and installed new upper control arms but those were boring and not picture worthy. Also re-wrapped the steering wheel with a $2 leather wrap and installed a spoiler!

Finally got a double din. This was the first thing I told myself I was going to do to the car when I first got it in 2009, but was never able to decide on what to get. Finally decided to just buy the jdm faceplate so that it would force me to actually get a double din. Btw anyone else with the jdm kit... do you have that small gap as well in between the top of th double din and the bottom of the AC unit?

I opted it for Pioneer Avic 7200NEX and am so glad that I waited. This thing is freaking awesome! If you are thinking about getting one, don't go for the bypass service that the shop offers. The bypass allows you to mess with the gps and watch dvds while driving (not recommended). They will most likely charge you. I told the shop no cause I don't watch movies anyways. However, I went online just to research more about the unit and found the bypass instructions by accident. As long as the brake wire is grounded, you can bypass it by following a few easy steps on the screen.

Be sure you secure that on properly, mine flew off on I85 at 70 MPH. Still have not replaced it.

No worries there..... its molded to the bumper, so the whole bumper would have to come off.

A while back I bought an extra OEM radio because I needed a circuit board in there.
I recently swapped the volume **** with the tone **** from the spare radio, and I think it looks better.
IMO it makes it look more updated and newer like it has a multi-dial digital potentiometer like modern cars, rather than a 270 degree analog volume potentiometer with the volume slash level indicator physically marked on top of the ****.
I was going to see if the 2006 era Solara radio ***** fit, because they look nice with chrome bezels, but I just haven't gotten to it because I have been rounding up items for the supercharger.

Thanks man, I am a little shaken up, went to the doctor, and seems like it's just a whiplash, but will be attending PT
I think Imma have to call the 1-800-LAW2 LOL

And yes I didn't realize it at the time of the accident but, the frame sure was damaged
The driver side door didn't open so I had to climb out of the passenger side

I'm sure going to miss her...

Default 14 GS Fsport

lowered with tanabe NF210. Giovanna staggered wheels and a front lip to set it off. All that's left to be done is the calipers
