i cannt view the thread...
sure id throw in the ipod direct cable. it plugs into your ipod just like the computer cable. charges and is controled by the radio directly..
and to change the cd/dvd you push the eject button and the screen tints and folds down to acess the cd.

the bezel is the plastic piece that goes around the face.
and the background is changable from this site i found awhile back.... upload your photo and usualy within a week its uploaded. and then you simply burn the few images documents from that site onto a cd and load it thru the dvd player in the radio

you got 2 images you can have uploaded at the same time. and they change every ON/OFF or you can set it to the one you like. i have my black99 pictured in one and another with vampire eyes right now
and well i dont have enough cash for another radio anyways.LOL i could use my next tax check BUT i want to spend it on NEW OEM SI wheels and tires....
and my next stereo upgrade will be a second alpine type r 15!

nice. but i dont think that that panel will clear the face when it flips down.... its moves quite a bit....
your best bet would be get some kinda non motorized radio screen.
sorry videos pretty crappy its dark in the garage and my camera just loves to refocus ALOT for some screwie reason!
ill try to get a better video of it outside in the sun tomorrow.

hmm, well the flip lid over the stereo on the del sol can be removed from the console. I wonder if I took out the flip lid if it would fit.
I really like how nice that thing flips out, it looks like a really nice solid unit.

heres another video.... its alittle clearer but still not perfect... i blame my camera.LOL i need to buy a real video camcorder! my camera takes OK video but not good. time for upgrade for it eventualy
i hate it mainly because when i record my bass it picks up mostly highs and hardly any bass!
as you can see my mirror jumpen hardcore and i have it zip tied tight from and back.LOL but yet the audio just picks up the voices so it sounds like my bass is very weak when its not!

ok well one bit of good news is i got a OEM cat converter and my wire extenders. ill instal it in afew days after i finish gutting my 99civic. since i need a car to drive plus i need the header off it
it looks good at least... paid like 100bucks for it.... but i figure its better than a aftermarket cat since its OEM.....
now i just need to take it to autozone and find a matching flange for it so i can weld it on my dx piping. im just hoping i can remove my 2ndary o2 sensor!!!!! i have one spare used sensor already since my 1st sensor is damaged and the wires are verly hanging on with a drop of solder so i know its not worth trying to reuse!
i also got my primer in the mail, tho i still need to buy some reducer for it.... i forgot to order it.
i also bought some filler and plastic promoter spray for when i spray the bumper cover and fix the dings and some hail damage. im hoping the filler is enough to fix everything.
i also just bought some other toys... which i think im going to do before i do the paint of course....
suicide door hinge kit.
http://store.gaugemagazine.com/compl...stallkit1.aspx
they are having alittle sale and i had alittle free cash plus ive REALY WANTED SUICIDE DOORS FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!!!
so as soon as i get those hinges im gonna start riping apart the passenger side of the car and start planing it out. so looks like ill be pushing back the paint work until after im done with the suicide doors. im sure it will be worth the wait!

ive only seen a few civics with suicide doors. thats another thing i love to be alittle different. and plus i just hate lambo doors!
at least most cheap kits ive seen on hondas and scions only give you like 4inches to squize thru the door with it fully open and they wobble!
these are the pictures ive seen first one was really pathetic!!!! they guy must have cheaped out and only bought 1 side! he only freaken used 1 hinge per side and then he complained about having to hold his door up some when closing it.... sure he did the dam thing was saging like crazy with only one hinge.LOL and he didnt do any metal work up front! weak job!
and the good looking ones in progress that ive found.
i wish i could find his FINISHED pictures but now i dont even remember where i got those pics from.
ive been in love with suicide doors ever since i had my old truck. i shaved its door handles but never able to do the suicide doors. tho im going to keep my outter door handle stock looking and just run some cables over to it.... tho not sure how ill do the lock... i need to check out those latches when i get them.... ill find out some way to lock out the latches if i have to put door popers on the car and wire up some switches to get triped by the stock handle. either way ill figure out something!

I LOVE EM! i just want some finished pictures..
tho his dont look like the doors would open all the way... looks like the hinges should be sunk in more. maybe im wrong...
either way i plan on finishing it out completely! the back side will be easy since i can do all the bracing on the inside hidden, toughest part for me will be finishing off the fender area.... i defiantly dont want to be able to see the back of the splash guard! but ill work it out.
