Ehhhhhh I'm not feelin' that mounting/dash kit for your headunit. Should have went with something that is more consistent with the vinyl dash or birdseye maple. Looks like a bit of wrinkling towards the bottom corners of the headunit. Love how your amps & subs are inconspicuously placed in the trunk though.

OGBenzo, No offense. But I think you should have the stereo shop re-do the piece that surounds the head unit. It looks cheap the way it is right now. Try Plexi Glass with the back side painted black or silver.

Have a piece on order
I had a piece from Germany on order, same black maple as interior, but it takes 6-8 weeks to get. As for the pods, it is better staging in the front. I disconnected the rear speakers. If you talk to any audiophile, he will tell you that pods give the best sound reproduction than door speakers. Plus I couldnt fit the aftermarket 6.5 in the kickpanel, there is a 8" sub in the door. You kinda have to listen to it to know how good it sounds.
