after some thought i decided to move my i pod to the center so i dont crash tryin to change songs. The i pod is directly hooked up to teh head unit and i have the car charger hard wired to the cig. lighter.

Nice...I love to see custom work done. Good job man!!!

At first I was unsure but dam dude that is very very nice.

Not to shabby. I would add something to the surround around the Ipod though. Soemthing to dress it up a little bit. Looks very clean though.

Oh BTW, your pedal is crooked.

oooh nice :thumbsup i just got my 6500 put in last week and i love it. iv also thought about hooking up an i-pod to my HU and sayin to hell with carrying around all my cd's. i think im actually going to load them all on a laptop and have a datalogger/jukebox all in one

Not really feeling the crocked HU. But looks VERY PROFESSIONAL.

ALso, ipods kick ass.

how did you brace the cd player, can you take pics of that please?

that was really easy, i took the bracket/shroud thing that goes around the outside of the cd player to get the position where i wanted it. Wedged some small pieces of styrofoma in between the bracket the the plastice trim piece. Then just loaded that bitch up with bondo. Filled almost the whole thing so it was nice and solid. IDK if you understand this but i will take soem pics.

That is clean as hell!! Dude, those pictures don't do your color justice... I've seen it in better light and that color looks a LOT better!!! But nice frickin job!! Keep it up!!!

just wanted to let you know...you could have mounted it straight with less structural weak spots. ;)

im also interested in pics of the process. do you just make a cutout for the HU in the stock panel and fill everything with bondo..or did you make a new panel? besides the styrafoam, how is the internal bracing attached? what did you do with the a/c/heat tubing behind there? i assume you just shreaded it and you leave the option for front air off like i did, lol.

i tried this a couple times and i wasnt pleased with the results...but i had built a whole new framework and did a totally custom job (i wanted to save the stock piece). i eventually mounted my 1/2 din EQ there and was happy.

i love the custom crookedness of it!!!

odd but


it runs....... and drives....... sorta

i just made a cut out of the stock panel, put the head unit braket in and bondoed the crap outta it. It is solid as hell and i dont think anything will crack or stuff like that. I liek the way the crookedness lookness, gives it a unique look. Ill get pics of the install ASAP. Thanks for all the compliments. :)

I didnt want to have to say anything but....




your stereo is crooked!!!!!!!
