Color matched BIX and Avic-D3--- 56k Warning---
Replace the damaged igniter on one of my headlights last night and decided that I should paint them since I had the headlight apart anyways. I also included a few pics of the avic-d3, instrument cluster bezel, and pioneer steering wheel adapter.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The wheels will be change soon! Hopefully.
I got the adapter from Worldwide-Sounds on Ebay spain. It took about 10 days to get here, and it was real easy to install.
I heated the glue that was there, pressed the lens in and then heated it some more.

I love the AVIC D-3 now!!! Those pics have really made me want to spring for one now, I had no idea the interface was so attractive. I'm looking at a few on ebay, besides the actual unit Nick, what else do I need to make it work? Links would be great too if u have em.
