danielribo,
I am sure you could use a band shifter to get more stations, but is there a model that allows for all US stations? I understood that you could either have the high or low but not both on the same shifter.
Hermosa,
"jam"??? I wouldn't suggest jamming anything. All the pieces from new to old fit in the dash, but they you have to wire them. This would be a feat in its own. I think you may be on to something thou. A nice GS NAV unit would be really nice.

MW, what you are saying then, is that if a person is willing to go the extra mile with the wiring, most Lex factory Nav systems will fit the SC?? With a lot of patience, this seems doable. Of course, there is that matter of cost of a Lex nav system vs. an aftermarket system. I bet I already know which will have the best cost to benefit ratio. But once again, we come back to fittment. Nothing will look as good as the factory system. That is worth a lot to some of us.

Hey Matt,
We should meet up with Rich sometime and hang out again. I am sure we all have done something to our cars since then. It would be nice to catch lunch maybe in Walnut Creek or Pleasanton, whichever is closer to you.

That sounds fun. I don't have my car thou. They are working on fitting that front hood wing on. The body shop said it interfered with the windshield tristage wing deflector. To get the very best downforce I had to use a sawzall to cut the A pillar to prevent conflict. Also, I only had room for one headlight in the center. So I will have to check and make sure that I am not breaking any laws. I think it is DOT certified, but not sure. The law says 24" off the ground is the minimum but when I let the hydralics down and then deflate the air cans, it is about 8" from the pavement. The car pulls to the right a tad too. So the alignment shop is thinking that my 15" rims on the right with the 19" rims on the left may correct the problem all together. Lets hope so.

Mike, Matt, we should definitely meet up again. I haven't done much to my car since our last meet other than detailing and maintenance, but it'd be fun anyway. Funny thing, I parked on Main St. in Pleasanton today to eat a burrito at High Tech, and two other SCs parked front and behind me out of random coincidence. Reminded me of the Dean's Cafe meet 
BTW, sorry for crapping on this thread, continue...

1 DIN space filler...
Hey guys,
Since there's been so much discussion about what to do with the space left over from upgrading the strereo, I thought I'd pass this along. I think I found it somewhere on CL, so thanks to whomever first listed the link... The site is Omori Meter North America. They have several different styles. Here's one example:

A perfect match for our 45mm series, this panel angles the gauges 30 degrees toward the driver, and is perfect for any empty DIN-sized opening. Moulded from high quaility black ABS Plastic.

the metra kit for the 95 & up ford ranger is a 1.5 din kit. with a creative razor operator, the .5din pocket of that kit could be used.

For reals though there is a chance I might drive to a Sac auto recycler this weekend.
Skulinex what model is that GPS?
