I would have gone with a 2-DIN unit to take advantage of our dash, but it looks nice regardless. Not a fan of the blue either. Props for trying something different and unique though.

IMO, the silver just doesnt look right unless you have a silver car. Everyone who has seen it in person thinks it looks a whole lot better than the silver

You should take an angled picture from outside with your door open so we can see the outside blue with the inside blue.

I've been wondering about those. The main reason I didn't go with one was the fact that it blocks the vents. Is it that much of a problem or have you noticed yet?

If your worried about the vent, then get a 2-DIN unit that is flush with the dash.

Looks good man, too bad Dupli-color doesn't have the 11 oz spray cans of Suburst Orange.....only the .5 oz scratch fix. It'd take too many of those to paint anything in that car for me.
