* update
picked up the oem rear cargo cover...ahhhh, so refreshing to have a nice fitted cargo mat now. also ordered a couple clips that hold the little black cargo cover flap to the hatch. mine were missing. got one in, waiting on the other.
far as the stereo goes i'll have just a basic 4 channel amp and a nice auto switching fm module with 3.5mm connection tomorrow put in. i'll have pics of that up soon... i decided to skip out on the sub for now. just not really a desire to get into having a custom box in the wheel well and blah blah blah. cost me about 700 roughly to get it done right and i'm not a bass head so don't have the ambition. i'll just wait for the stock 6.5 bass sub to implode to dust, then i'll get into that.

The extra signal is just hanging out in the engine bay lol. It is tucked away so it doesn't light up the whole engine haha. I might paint it black though. The yellow in the highbeam I painted on with transparent yellow paint looks amazing imo.

i also had to trim one of the bulb connector piece to fit the JDM headlights. to get the screws in the wheel well to line up i had to bend the metal piece a little. you'll find this stuff as you get into it.

anyone here with a sportcross want to sell their spare tire/rim? is the sportcross spare a 7.5 or a 7 inch? Im looking for 2 sportcross rear wheels with tires but they must be mint preferrably from a 2003, not a 2004 or 2002. If anyone has a set please email me 2006limited@gmail.com. I have too few posts so i cannot post in the WTB section. thanks guys!

ive been MIA for a while... Great progress....
Did you figure out the headlight wiring yet?
What are the exact specs for all the speakers in the SportX? (if you dont mind)
PS. Sucks about the visor

installer came to the house today, amp is too big...so gonna be monday or tuesday. he installed the fm module which looks nice, but puts off more static than my tape deck aux jack... my purpose is clarity and that clean look, so hopefully this gets resolved. dissappointed as of now cause it sounds like ***** to me.
far as the leds go. i have all the lights swapped out except the fogs. 1 of the city lights doesn't work so getting a replacement worked out... i don't understand why things can't just go smooth??? my stereo was supposed to be done in a day-sub didn't fit, amp didn't fit, fm jack sounds like poop, busted moonroof visor, got the wrong exhaust mailed to me (which worked out in the long run, but still not what i ordered), blown led light, inner tail lights don't fit...sigh...the hassle and more to come i'm sure
out with the old, in with the new. hurray for leds
