so i'm sanding down my faceplate to get the glossy black paint off and all i can say is "INCREDIBLE"...

krylon fusion paint for plastic surfaces is amazing. It will stick to plastic without priming like GLUE.

it's literally like Black Tar, it sticks so well.

I cant believe how cheap ice is in the US, I just got a new Pionner model with all the gadgets, i-pod ready and bluetooth,etc, etc. Now in the UK its RRP is nearly £400. like $750-800. (I didnt pay anything like that though).
So I check out the US Pioneer site and the RRP is $220. WTF. Anyway here it is.

the exchange rate is about 2 to 1 currently, which explains the ginormous price difference between us head units and british head units...

i said "head units"... lol.

Nothing to do with the exchange rate, that head unit works out at £120 in the states. We just get ripped off, pure and simple.

Come to think of it, that would be an excellent gift for my wife, she is always downloading stuff from Limewire. She would be able to plug in her MP3 player and play all her songs. She's going to love me for it...

I work for Circuit city and our "No questions asked policy" only pertains to the Circuit City Advantage plan you can purchase in 2 or 4 year with or without "Accidental" so believe me it gets technical when your stuff breaks if you didnt buy accidental coverage on ur plan there's gonna be some questioning. Without a CCA plan we offer a 14 days malfunction return policy and 30 day return with 15% open box fee, past that enjoy talking with JVC about your problems.

well, i deeed it.

it took me two attempts to match the other trim pieces, but I pulled it off.

my trim plate is the same color and pebbled texture.

the flash makes the dash look funny, but it matches. trust me.
