Great install, I feel as the border is missing something however.
Needs a design element to it, to flat. Perhaps, more of an embossed casing,
more dimple trim. Screen should sit in a bit more.

Must look great at night.

very nicely done- How did you do the rest of the system, were the amp and speakers replaced?

Originally we did some high end speaker brand that claimed they had some awesome stuff, but it turned out to be garbage so we replaced there stuff with all Audison and Hertz equiptment.

We did Hertz speakers, 8" mid bass, 3" dome in the door behind in the factory location and 1" tweet in the dash in the factory location. We did a rear fill 4" coax. For the amplifier we used a Audison 6 channel. The car sounded awesome with no sub!

Here are a few of the pics form the older system, it still looks the same just different equiptment. The amp in under the bonet under the abs amp mount that we made painted red with the cresent in it.

I thought I did post the SL600 but it looks as if they took it down because I am not a sponsor. At least i thought I posted it.

Around 4500.00 including parts and labor for the Kenwood nav, LCD, SAT radio, HD Radio, CD Changer, Ipod, usb.... There is a cheaper alternative to this by using a double din size radio but it would not be as smoothly integrated as this looks.

I did the same install.......but didn't replace the orig Bose speakers...and the sound is just OK. Guess the speakers are next huh?
How do you get rid of the "---------" where the trip info and nav info used to be in the instrument cluster?
Thanks for any help. Your car looks great!
