Get some 15mm spacers all around and 60mm lugs and the stock wheels will look much better! It's a very small investment of under $300 total. As a bonus the over 1 1/4" wider stance will help handling.

How long did it take you to install the center console, and was it pretty easy? Your car is lookin' good, and I'm sure it's not to bad to drive either.

Thanks Ari. Where is a good place to get the spacers and longer lugs?

I have a set of RG5's, but I need to get the centers painted before I install them. Would the spacers work with the Champions as well?

Thanks Lane. I'd say it took about 1.5 hours. It was simple, but it just took some time to transfer the console lid, side leather pieces, buttons, and clips. I'm very happy with the end result though! I'll ship out my old console tomorrow, so keep an eye out for it.

Adam, I'll keep my eyes open for the console. I'm glad that you're happy with it, and the install wasn't to hard. These cars are built really well and made to modify.

I tried that and the controller comes right together with the switches.... doesnt look right IMO. Cant wait to get mine back from you! Will post pics for everyone when it is done.

Adam, who did your trim piece around the unit? I have the same head unit and would like to get a trim ring that fits.

It is a sock that covers the filter. Supposedly it keeps the filter cleaner and keeps small debris out.

Thanks! It has taken me a long time to get them done, but I will eventually!

dgreen78,

An alternative with the DNX7100 is the unit comes with a surround that fits the console left to right, but leaves a gap at the botton that does not look out of place. Attached is a photo of how you can mount the unit with the stock piece.
