Default Another major project finished :)

I just finished up with the double din Navigation, Bluetooth, Ipod, Rear View Camera, front components, rear speakers, subwoofer, amplifier, complete wiring, the whole works The project was not an easy one as I had to move a lot of stuff that was in my ashtray area (supercharger related) but I am very happy with the end results. This project was originally started in April at Oak's place and we were done with it there. I just can't leave well enough alone So I revamped EVERYTHING and started back on it late July. Took me a month working on it half an hour every day

My friends helped me a lot with this project. This time from as far as 1509 miles away

My SINCERE and SPECIAL thanks to:

C5 BearsFan (for putting up with my insane requests of different configurations and making me 3 different bezels to custom fit my needs!)

Mr.WaynesWorld (24/7 Tech Support from start to finish)

PentaVolvo (for inspiring me to do this)

Btchn99 (NEVER ENDING motivation and moral support)

and FactoryRaceCar (for his wallet and for not slacking)

On to the pics for you all























and the dirty ride

I like it. The deck looks stock. And I'm very jealous of the go fast toys!

Is it just me, or did you fill in the area where the ash tray was. That looks great. You and your helpers certainly have some skills.

Thanks guys for the compliments!

I may be the most anti bling person on the boards. The whole idea of the head unit and the bezel etc was to look VERY close to factory and stock. Nothing shows. Not even the amp (its under the seat) and the only thing that you can see is the head unit that looks darn near factory! Just like my Escalade
