I just fell in love with a new head unit but...
Ok so I was walking around the car audio section of Frys today and I saw a new stereo by pioneer and i love it but the problem is that the display and buttons are blue and my dash is orange/red currently i have an aftermarket sony head unit that matches the same red color as my dash, i was wondering how it would look if the stereo doesnt match the dash at night and if yall could post some pictures of your interiors at night so i can kind of get an idea of how it would look if i decide to put down the $300 for this new stereo and here is a link to it http://about.pricegrabber.com/search...st=product_tab

Aa year ago I looked at one and you could change color of display. Dont know if you can do that with that one. It does look rediculous when you have several colors on your dash. Unless you want to change your dash to blue.......

I didn't know a double DIN headunit would fit in there, but I never bothered to research it either.
I would think it would look OK though with just the radio a different color.

**** i didn't realize that it was a double DIN size and third gens use a DIN and a half... well that brings me to my next question... has anyone ever fit a double DIN stereo in a third gen?
