Radio, Suspension, shifter knob question
Hi, Again I'm asking questions because I'm still doing my plan of the modifications I want to do next summer and I'v come with 3 new things.
first one is : the Radio.
is there any more recent radio that I can buy and put instead of the actual one ? because I'd like to listen to my music with an auxiliary port, ect. But the thing is, I don't want to buy a cheap radio or a *rice* radio, like alpine with 5000 blue colors that flashes everywhere, ect.
Second : Suspension.. I want to lower my car by maximum 2 inches (unless you have other advices) because I don't want to be *hellaflush* and I don't want my wheel to be in my fenders.. I just want to drop it a little. Some peoples on other forums suggested me the Bilstein B8, is it a good choice ? do you have other options to suggest me ?
Third and last (it's almost finish) : the shifter knob... Mine is really in bad condition, but I don't want to change for a different one. I'd like to put a new shifter knob with the C36 on it but I can't find it... anybody knows where I can buy one ?
Thanks !!

Did I mention the OE steering wheel controls work?
But like I said, to each their own. What are you looking for? Single DIN? Double with NAV/TV/DVD player? Or?

well I don't know for you, but my OEM radio isn't an alpine....
I well I'd like a simple screen one, for the navigation I don't really care if it has it or not.
and for what I'v heard of alpine radios, it's really cheap.. brand new out of the box and 2 buttons not working, flashy blue lights everywhere, ect.
I just want something sober with a screen an auxiliary port.
I have a stupid questions.. Is it possible to take out the A/C controller and the radio, cut the wood trim between them and put some kind of device that could control both of them ?
oh and sorry.. but the X305 is exactly what I'm NOT looking for..
