Guess no one liked the above, I'm just getting all my exterior plastic pieces matte black to keep the look of plastic.

On top of that, I got a few things in the mail while I'm deployed and the wife put them in for me.



If no one notices the difference, I replaced the carbon fiber on the dash, I'll put them up for sale when I come home. The wife is going to get a quote on how much it'll cost to paint the whole interior, if they even can.

Don't worry, if I ever find a double DIN that I want, I'll make sure to give it to you. I want a nice GPS/iPhone/Pandora/DVD deck that lets me have red illumination. Know any? I don't want to spend alot either, lol.

My Avic D3(discontinued model) had most of that. It also had gauge options you could use too, voltage etc. Might be something to look into.

Avic-D3 looks awesome. So it had everything what I listed? That Pandora link is just an option, but I do need it to work with my iPhone 4 and GPS for sure.

It was in my truck when I bought it, but I'm sure the new model Avics have all the stuff you're looking for. The D3 had Ipood interface, newer ones I'm sure would work with Iphones. There was a parrot system hooked up to it for blue tooth phones but I never used it. The navigation discs are pretty expensive but I was able to download them as a torrent and burn them.

I plan on upgrading to the iPhone 5, so I need to make sure a new deck would work with it.

Right when I was about to order my seats, I was deciding if I should go all black with red piping, just all black, or red in the middle.



or



or



I don't want to have to much red, but I was also thinking if I do the seats with red, I might as well put a little accents in the doors and do some red on those as well. Wife likes the all black so far, but she hasn't seen the red piping one.

As it sits now the black with red lettering looks better I think. I agree that you'd have to add some red to the interior if you went with red in the seats, unless you just went with piping and stitching maybe.

Yeah, I don't want to regret getting seat covers if I don't like the theme. I was thinking like wrapping the door vinyl in red and then getting a custom console lid cover.
