The audio setup would be totally up to your budget and preference as there are many good single/double din systems out there on the market. Almost anything you get would be better than stock.

As for the grill, do you have a 2.5 or 3.2? Some options that are available for us are JDM Inspire grill, Mugen grill, or you can DIY a mesh grill...

I got my radio for $125 installed. Then I bought speakers, installed them myself, and paid like $125 for speakers. I love the way my speaker setup is in the car.

Thanks for your suggestions I am trying to stay below $125.00 on a head unit but a little more for speakers and an amp I don't think I need too much more. I will also check your grill suggestions.

under $125 for a headunit. wow!! the one i had was $1,000 i'm sure its like half price now.
it was the Clarion MAX685BT.

i'm looking for another bc i sold that one 6 months ago for $500.
i def need something with bluetooth and iPhone charging capabilities. what kind of speakers and amp u looking at?
when i first bought my TL i had a small 300 watt Kicker amp and a 12" Infinity Kappa Perfect sub in a ported box. It pretty hard for 300 watts. (especially "I Put On" by Young Jeezy)

I'm partial to Clarion head units and Boston Acoustics for my sound. I'm saving for some Boston Acoustics SR60 components. U should look at S60's they're nice and more affordable.

Hey TLin401 what lip is that you have in the front? Nice but does it cover the entire bumper? Get back at me.
