Looks very nice I like the new grill. I was wondering what's the head unit model?
I'm looking at upgrading the stock sound system to a better one without a sub though. Also what do you have under the head unit?

It's a Pioneer DEH-2050MPG $109 at JB's, I wish now I chose one with blue display to match the other gauges on dash. It's a major improvement on the standard head unit that came with the car, I originally put in new speakers thought that would make it sound better but sounded flat and not much coming out of the rear speakers. I then added a Pioneer Amp to the rear speakers it sounded nice and loud but the sound quality was terrible. With the Pioneer it sounds fantastic I don't think I need the Amp but seeing that I had already installed it I decided to keep it.. I used the old speaker frames as mounting plates for the new Pioneer speakers I just cut the centres out with a sharp knife.The original speakers had flimsy plastic frames , the new ones were really easy to install .Even the front door ones, I didn't have to take all the door panel off just unclipped the door studs closest to the speaker mountings.
In the second Din pocket I mounted a clock/temp gauge to fill up the hole a bit cost $39 at Jaycar

I just cut the cigarette lighter connection off my Temperature Gauge and connected it to the same accessory wire I used for the CD/Radio. From what I saw the centre wire on mine (+) was the black wire with silver traces on it, the negative was the plain black wire. I hope this helps
