Install updates:

[Tuffy]

Just finished putting in my head unit. Took a while longer than I thought it would, had to go to Wal-mart to pick up wire strippers. But after getting it done, it looks great. I have since changed the color to green to go with the car interior. Here is a picture, I will post updates. Hopefully everything will be installed by the middle of next week.

Is that a built in tray or separate? Looking for somthing like that so I can put a normal cd player in there.

those trays come with the install encloser. mine did. but i had to cut it cause the stupid bar in there was in the way. couldnt remove it. i saw a thread about how to remove it once. but i lost it now. ill find it later. i need a new head unit too.

If you buy a deck thats $129.99 and higher, it comes with absolutely EVERYTHING you need. The tools you need to get it out, all of the plugs you need, directions, and that spacer thing....plus they are giving free shipping...from Crutchfield btw. The only stuff you will need are wire strippers and maybe some crimpers.

sweet....so the place I ordered my speakers from failed to tell me that they were on back order. Awesome...now instead of having them for the weekend like I was really counting on (I have to drive 4+ hours for a wedding) I have to wait until next week for them to ship. I even called them and asked for them to overnight it because they messed up. Nope

Finally got the component speakers in today. Hopefully I can get everything done tomorrow. Here is a pic of me putting in the new speakers. On another note...to people that have changed them out, what do you do with the factory head unit? and the old speakers? eBay?

you do whatever you want...i trashed mine...but the opts are limitless...ebay, local adds, junk yards, sell to friends, craigslist....WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!

better yet, why dont you advertise them on the "parts for sell" forum on this site...
