Fiberglass HU install Completed

[splitvizion]

Thanks for everybodys compliments. I can't wait to finish with the LCD screen install. To answer a few questions: The steering wheel buttons are not functional as of now but with a little wiring I will have them working again soon, hopefully. As for the carbon fiber look I felt that it would be nearly impossible to match the same carbon fiber look that came factory. That is why I went with the red lexan. I think black would look good as well but I wanted to keep some red in the design since that is the color scheme that I am going for.

Is that the alpine deck that you can change the color on? Or is it fixed at blue?

 

[splitvizion]

Tell me sir, any problems with glare?

no problem with glare. just hard as hell to keep clean. just like the paint on your car, dust is always there. I just keep a rag in the car to wipe it off.

Its the AlpineHU that is the model below the color changing model. I didn't want to pay around $100 extra just for that feature. I will have to deal with the differant color HU display.

all i can say is WOW!!!

and as said previously.... MASS PRODUCE THEM!!!

Do u have any pics of it from a further distance? Like a picture taken sitting in the rear seats???

Just so we can contrast it...

You dont miss your center vents??? I like the way it looks, very clean and professional install but if anyone ever sits in the back of your car they are going to hate you.

sweet.....clean!

 

[splitvizion]

no I don't miss the vents and everybody that sits in the back allready hates me because they all say that my system makes them wanna throw up or it makes their head vibrate and hurt. It will suck to be them when I upgrade to the 1200.1 Kicker instead of my 600.1. I might be ridin solo. Oh well. LOL

It is red lexan that is 3/16" thick with the holes drilled and sealed into the piece with an apoxy.

Dang.. you're right!!

I was going to comment on how incredible the job looks, but the missing vents?! (pissed) I'd die if I only had the side vents to depend on. Us Texans need as much cooling as possible.

The housing does look awesome though. I hope you're able to remove the faceplate from that unit. It makes a mighty inviting thing for car thieves.

 

[splitvizion]

yeah you can remove the faceplate. I am really happy with the Alpine HU. I have always had Pioneer HU's and was never really impressed with them besides the fact that they had the Organic EL available.
