Oh. I thinks it's because the roof is so long and its just metal. I've wanted to take the headliner out to look but I know what a ***** those things can be to deal with.

Well I have a PS3 and a Bravia, but I like Phoenix Gold, JL, Infinity, Boston, etc when it comes to car audio. I saw illumination done in my bosses daughters car and thought, "hell, I could do that with some clear rods and leds!" so I did. I'll take some pics, its just as good as the ones she has if not better because mine flash to the beat!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif
