Rasta...check with member Li-X5, i believe he was selling a pretty serious sound system. And i vote for the powdercoated 168's

My mods are new OEM DVD unit for rear entertainment system. Module burnt out and monitors play in b&w.

Usually only use spacers for winter setup but kept the 30mm on rear with summers and love the look. Ordered 15mm for fronts.

Roundels are all black so gonna match with shadowline trim pieces in semi-gloss black. May also have the exhaust tips coated semi-gloss black.

Interesting, which rear entertainment system do you have and which module died on you?

I'd have to pull the exact part numbers but I have the floor mounted DVD unit (#4 below), with wireless headphones and headrest monitors. Took it in to dealer and they say "a diagnosis revealed a burnt out module within the DVD unit" is the culprit for the system playing in b&w. They suggested replacing the DVD unit.

I read through the system manual to troubleshoot and it made mention of the monitors playing in b&w if it runs for an extended period and gets too hot. The longest it's ever been used is the length of a feature film

yeah his sound system is a bit more than what i was looking for. i just want a subtle upgrade.

Yeah - LOVE the 215s though... just wondering if OEM will give me better ride... still 20s though.

Regarding backup camera type - not too sure - experimenting with one off ebay. bought the wireless kit from some seller, they sent me wired, then refunded me.. so got a FREE kit. with backup lines etc supposedly. been sitting for a year on it.

need new front brakes and rotors - suggestions welcome - OEM is fine, where can i get good deal?

Oh - also have TV setup that i haven't used and got all the bells and whistles for to use my ipod with. and got the right module for my invisions to be able to set it up to accept AV input from the module and not just the headrests.

Basically - audio video upgrade this spring/summer...

let the games begin!!
