Looks great. How good are the vehicle dynamics on those pioneer units?

What a beautiful ride! I'm partial to black...what can I say? Btw, who did you go through to powdercoat your rims? A body shop? I want to do my evo 8 rims black as well.

I love the Black on Black. The wheels are a nice compliment. Allthough it's a b*tch of a color to keep clean, it always looks good.

Thanks everybody, i'm very satisfied with the overall appearence of the car for how few dollars were thrown at it. I get a ton of thumbs up and camera phone pictures cruising down the freeway, i think because its so simple.

Thanks, It's pretty good. I use the Battery Voltage, MPH, and lateral "G" load for the vehicle dynamics function. There are quite a few different options though. The battery voltage meter is pretty sick, i use it when i am playing my radio without the car being started. Once it dips into the low 11's, i know to shut my radio off. The MPH really came in handy in my previous car. The overall wheel and tire size was way off so i went by that as my speedo, as my real speedo would read way low. On the Evo, the GPS MPH on the unit itself is dead on with my real speedo. I have heard mixed results on the accuracy, but it seems to work perfect for me. I bought it almost 2 years ago.

Thanks buddy. It's actually not too bad. When they get dirty, they look they have a matte black finish, and when there absolutely caked with breakdust and dirt, they look gunmetal, and when they are sparkling clean they look HOTT.

A lot of people feel the need to go with a body kit for these cars or custom paint. This is a hard this to do and achieve while still keeping the car looking clean and tasteful. Stock is beautiful, baby!
