Just another Coupe with an Avic-D3.. 56kIEwillFreeze
So its finally warm enough to be outside for longer than 2 min spurts so I got around to washing it and taking some pics.
20% tints, d3 with rear camera and steering wheel interface working perfectly. The car is a butterface, I absolutely hate the condition of the front end so I didn't photograph it. I need a new front bumper and hood and paint.

Thats how I ran the wires to the rear of the car for the future sub and amp.
And I broke the glove compartment putting it back together. 
Next will definitely be debadging then back to making payments.

lookin good... im surprised that you drilled a hole through the glove compartment to put all those wires. there wasn't a place to hide it in the back of the dash? i didn't have to even touch my glove compartment when i did the install.
camera looks good! i think i'll get one too after the wounds heal from my spending spree and other upgrades are installed. how did you trace it back to the door? is the wire concealed?
i like! you need to do something about your taillights though... tint it dark red!

Well I ran rca's back for a future sub. I pulled everything from the radio cavity through the same whole the factory uses for the cd changer I think. That put everything on top of the shelf so I had no choice unless I wanted to pull everything apart to fish the wires back further. It doesn't look bad at all but like I said, the glove box doesn't function so smoothly anymore so I'll have to look into that.
Also that silver box is for the camera. Its not like I couldn't fit everything back there and let it spill out. I only drilled for the rca's and I will have to run a wire in the future for the xm. The thick black cable is the ipod cable and the white cable is an aux audio input I set up.
The wire in concealed. The sill and kick panels on the passenger side pop up pretty easily and I pushed it into the plastic panels on the hatch and trunk area. Its not an award winning finish but it looks perfect to the average eye.
Maybe I will get some tint spray or something for the tail lights.

go here for the tint:

it'll come out a lot better... most people do black/smoked... but i think if you did red it would look hot (just enough to get rid of that pink/salmon look)

I'd rather a spray than a film. Thats alot cheaper too. I think i'll do that in the next couple weeks.

Yep thats me.
Oh ya, midnight, I put the gps antenna under the center grille and it works fine. It connects to 5 or 6 of the sats. Crutchfield has xm on sale right now so when I get that, I'll put that antenna in the same spot. BTW I can get the BT for about 170. Good deal?
