Some pictures for you

(sorry I need to wash her

)

Best project after complete Navi retrofit...Now I can

Nice job, looks great. Do you think it sounds better?

Since so many cars have grills, I wouldn't think yours would invite too much criminal intent because thieves would think it was stock and stock speakers take a long time to remove and aren't worth that much. I worried a lot about my old free-standing box, but never had a problem.

I compared with the cover off and on (with speaker grill) and to me it sounds better with the grill. I suspect you will get the same good result if you make a whole in the cover and put some material over it...

To tell the trust I am not worried about the criminal intent because my sliding cover in the trunk is always closed so no one can see the sub grill.

Yes, I was surprised too. The paint I used is like 99% match to the interior color

Thats my backup CD's for Navigation. I used them when I had my MK3 navigation unit, I changed to MK4 recently. I left them there just in case...

Off Topic

I have MKIII ... does it worth it to upgrade to MKIV?
What differences other than the perspective view and less number of CDs?

Philly X5 · #**259** 02-16-2009, 01:26 PM

I would say yes, response time is much better and graphics looks better too
If you can sell your mk3 I would go for it...
