Default Alpine 9857 Install - Not dial up friendly
Thanks to the help of forum members including midas1 and pentavolvo, I have my Alpine 9857 head unit installed.

Here's a couple pics:







Sorry the blue doesn't show up well in the pics. I'll take another pic once it is dark.

looks really sweet. i've never seen textured panels painted but it sets it off nicely. i think i may like it better then the smooth finish. i feel like i'm actually in your car though (pictures are huge!!)

I resized the photos to make them a little easier to view!

BTW....the paint is PPG elastomeric paint. It is silver metallic. I'm a rookie when it comes to painting, but I used a detail gun to spray the dash pieces.

Although I didn't get my HU mount from the same site that scott_fx posted they are from the same manufacturer. Ordering from this link will speed up the ordering process since the HU mounts are made in Canada. This will bypass the Customs process. Thanks for the comments!
