[QUOTE="LaserRed38, post: 4171388, member: 582808"] Is this what the dash kit looks like? [IMG]http://www.thegrillstoreandmore.com/image/products/thumbs/285610d.jpg[/IMG] If so, I don't think it looks too bad. I would either sand and paint the whole thing gloss black, or get a HU that has flat black on it (probably hard to find, so the other way would look better). I would do the gloss black and then paint a few other parts to tie it in, then get a used HU that has buttons that can change color to match your interior (like my Alpine 9835) so it all matches the interior. There are ways around making aftermarket stuff look "stock" or at least blend in better. Also, it is REALLY easy to make 6.5 adapters for 5x7s. I would really recommend getting at least a small 8" sub. Just save up for a bit and do everything right the first time. If you get a decent set of comps and run them off that amp, then you're just going to want more soon...so you might as well do it all at once. [/QUOTE]
