Default Finally got started

Well I finally decided to clean out the garage and start installing a system in the Grand Prix.

Some of the equipment I had stored away.


I installed the head unit with a kit but didn't like the way it looked, it stuck out too far for me.



So I made my own out of Aluminum



Now I have to paint it and install. It will be flush mounted with no gaps around the trim ring.

More to come.

Looks good. Can't wait to see it installed. Could be a money maker there. I don't like the way the install kits stick out either and I'm sure alot of others don't too.

I got the idea from awebsite that I found. HUmount.com
Their kits are really nice but I just can't make myself pay that much.
