Default Some upgrades to my car What have you guys done to yours?

id like to show a couple things ive done! and id like to see what uve done.
So post pictures and give eachother future ideas for our montes!

First i got My 2 12" memphis SR subs they hit amazingly hard..


Next i got my 7" touch screen stereo installed, done by myself i chose this one because u can remove the touch screen when u leave your car so theres a lower chance it will be stolen..


I have also tinted my tail lights with VHT taillight paint. They came out great!

I have a feeling this will illicit a very broad range of responses lol. I've got new WeatherTech wind deflectors, and that's all that's actually on my car right now. Other stuff is being painted.

Nice mods. I like the large screen head unit. Im waiting for them to come down in price a bit more then ill buy one. Eventually they will be under 200 for a good one.

That's kind of the problem with headunits, you get what you pay for.

As time goes on, headunits will lose their worth and also lose their technical support, which means less firmware updates which will make the headunits harder for the user to use. They start to slow down and glitch etc..

I wouldn't wait for them to get to $200 because of this, I would just bite the bullet, buy one that's nice now and take good care of it, this way you know it will work in the long run and if you get a good headunit from a reputable company like Kenwood or Alpine, they offer to fix your headunit for you for free if it's related to firmware or else they can fix other issues for a charge. I love Kenwood's customer support
