Man what a build of the 430.. I love the color of the new interior, much more smooth and flows very well. The sub box and wheels just adds more details to the car. Looks good.

Are you saying that you spray painted all the wood grain panels black? If so, was it professionally done?

MTAALIB3 Yea took off original interior panels sanded them down and sprayed them myself. I went with a single stage black. It is very durable and you can cut/buff it really nice. Be carefull when you take off the panels they break easy. especially the air vents!

Yea i removed the stock navi. Since i built the box in the way i had to remove all the electronics, AMP and NAVI. I relocated the Roof module. Pull out the original navi and your going to have to gut it out. Take out electronics and screen. depending which screen your using your going to have to rig something up. Some screens have different layouts for the buttons etc. They are some really cool ones that are touch screen, so you can change from inputs/channel/etc without the remote. I just have it hooked up to AV1 so i didnt have to worry about that. I can watch a movie while navigation is on it works both ways. I can give the measurements to my screen so you have an idea how wide deep it can be. Since your removing the stock screen you have plenty of room to play with. There is a bunch of nonsense back there. Just make sure how all the tilt mechanism and door goes. It really isnt all that difficult.

Build is coming along nicely. Waiting for finale with that interior (dope) and roof combo. Great job!

No other plans for exterior mods?
