if you have no ML then you will need something like the Vais kit to play videos but you'll have to have something like an ipod/iphone that has videos on it.

If you just want to hook an after market DVD player up to watch movies they also make something called a NAV tool that plugs into the back of your head unit and has video inputs ground out the yellow parking brake wire and if u don't have nav just cut the vss wire and your reach to roll

damn i got a million questions.a milli a milli a milli. lol. so i can just buy an aftermarket dvd player and stick it in the back of the nav? of course with the product that lets me do it. i have a cosmetics question. the rear lights, i would like to black out. but not completely. i like the ones ive seen that have the white part still white. ive blacked out lights before with ppg paint(real paint mixed with clear) but i dont think i would be able to get that perfect half circle. how do they do that? is it a tint? if so where can i get it?

niteshades is a good product to black things out. it looks dark but once you press the brakes, the light shines right thru it. just tape off what you dont want tinted and spray the whole light.

thats your choice, niteshade has great reviews and is a great product. either one would require the same amount of time since you have to let it dry.

good luck. coming from someone who was on 22s, id stick with 20s especially if you want to lower the car.

i would only want to lower a little bit.the rim would have to fit inside the wheel well. im planning on getting a lipkit aswell. obviously, not all at once.im not rich. ive seen about 2 gs that have 22's and they look sick. i actually had one on 20's for a day.dropped. ( long story short, bought the car, half way home all sorts of electrical stuff went wrong.sunroof,and complete drop down box went haywire.) i took that car back and got my down payment back. i did like it though. just couldnt get the idea that those rims look small on the huge car. im guessing 21's would be the ideal size. but ive had 19's before and when it was time to buy tires.it was hard on my pockets. odd numbers are nuts. someone in here has to have the perfect size and offset. that they can share for 22's.
