So i have enjoyed the JBL MS-8 Setup i have had for the past 6 months in the Legend, but i have decided to take it up a notch this year and do a whole new setup. So far i am amazed at the sound quality of this setup and i have yet to do any real tuning on it yet

I gutted the whole interior minus the dash and driver seat. I went through 180 feet of felt tape and 1/4 foam liner and padded every thing that has ever squeaked. Also while everything was out of the car i decided to do something about the hideous woodgrain that i have gotten tired of looking at. The vinyl came out good til i started to run short on the pieces for the stereo surround. its not perfect but i can live with it for now.

Bunch of work. This is one vehicle I'm trying not to mess with too much stereo wise.

 

finally some one did the nexus 7 in dash on the RL side!!

 

Too sick

 

How do you control the A/C?

And did you take those pictures with a potato?

 

the lines at the shift gate would drive me CRAZY!

 

Ditto...

 

YES the shifter and the stereo surround BUGGGG Me as they do not align. i can live with it for a while as soon as the buzz wears off from the new stereo and start nit picking again. I am searching around for a 2009+ Climate control so i can adjust fan speed. AC i usually just leave on auto and adjust the temperature

 

So you have none of the factory screen options.

 

The wood on the doors... Does it just pull off or do you have to take the entire door apart?

 

Yea no factory screen options with the tablet and I never used them any way I always had the screen off.

The doors I took the wood out when I had the door panels off installing the speakers

 

Wow, I like it, hate that all the original stuff is gone the end result is impressive.

 

Is this in an Acura RL 2010?

 

Carbon had an '05-'08 body style. I can't remember the exact year of his car.

 

Nice work but that trim pattern would kill my eyes. A matte CF weave pattern would probably look pretty nice.
