yeah, i tried the TV thingy many years ago. reception is poor once you start moving, but stationary was alrite (this is with the regular antennae). for satellite TV, you will need to go with a boomerang antennae (like the ones you used to see on limos)...unless there's new technology out now that you don't need the boomerang? <---- not sure. anyways, it's cool to have satellite TV in the ride, but its more for show than functionality. satellite TV would be better suited for long distance trips like in a RV camper...

^ yea its for show unless you take many road trips. Here is an Example. I know Tweeter Audio was selling one much smaller but you can get the idea of what its like. Not so sure it ever went any where but I did see it in person.

you never know, they may come out with a full conversion...but my concern is how to keep it the entire car clean (black paint, black, interior, black trim... @_@ )

you guys can get a good customizing shop to do piano black, since it's just paint + clear coat.

yup it's definitely doable by a good body shop. nothing i'd bother to do though (unless it's just swap / overlay)

I would be afraid with them painted that they would scratch much easier. I guess you can put clear bra on it but I would want to do it right or not do it at all like rominl said.

Doesn't look good when mixed in with the wood. It should either be all wood or all piano black.... not both. No manufacturer puts both in.

Hey guys I'm currently in the process of adding ALL the new items Think Design has added up. And just as an FYI, they have no problem in ordering US spec peices and doing the full Black Piano finish for anyone, but it's a little more expensive since they have to order US spec parts, do the work, then ship them back .

They actually started doing the outide ac vents for the ISf because we asked them to. So any other item is no big deal. So please hang tight, I should start to have all these added up by next week.
