That's exactly what I would be looking for if I got one in my car. I just don't see myself spending $800 bucks on appearance when I could do a lot of performance things w/ that money. Unfortunately not a win win situation. If only a headunit and bodykit would give me 40 more horse

How much of a pain was it wiring everything up? Asides from the head unit is everything else with the stereo system left stock? I would love to get something like that if I didn't have to buy an amp, etc. Want to leave everything else stock.

So far everything is still stock, wireing was strait forward if you get the harness. My factory amp works well and all the speakers sound way better.

Looks very nice. I'll be getting the AVIC-Z1 soon and it should look very similar installed. Good choice on the HU but I'm a GPS ***** so I have to have the Z1 lol.

Could you possibly post a list of the parts you used, harnesses, dash unit, etc. I see that you already put the model number of the Alpine unit. Much appreciated.
