Yes I had a body shop paint those pieces. It doesn't smudge too bad as long as you don't keep your fingers on it. I have a cloth I keep in the glove box to wipe it every couple days. It shows dust incredibly easy

Does anyone know where and how much those carbon gray interior trims are and if they have them for the tl? I've seen them for the cl, but I was wondering if they would fit, and if they also have some for the rear doors.

Kenwood's DDX-6019 is my favorite double din screen. Easy. Easy. Easy to add on to. My second choice is the Pioneer AVH-P6800. It's a 6 disc in dash changer with great features. Moderately easy to add on stuff. The user interface is somewhat hard to navigate.
As far as navigation.... Pioneer has very little competition. The AVIC-Z2 is by far the best NAVI piece on the market. If you are looking to keep it simple and not spend $2200, check out the AVIC-D3. It still have plenty of usable features and the same navigation system as the Z2.
Please email or PM me if you have any questions. I am the AZ vendor that makes the double din kits and prepares the harnesses. If you're a research nut... go to the Sponsored Sales and Group Buys area and check out this thread....

Aaaahhh. I had a dream of integrating my Zune. I was going to fill in the storage space below the Metra kit to the width of the Zune and have it slide in to the dock (mounted in the back).
Unfortunately, the dock is all one circuit board and there was no way I could mount it the way I wanted. Dream aborted.
Of course then I didn't need a $500 head unit (JVC single DIN w/ 3.5" screen), I just needed an Aux input = $120.
Great job though. And glad to see another Zuner with a TL.

I have looked around for an installation guide for putting the Z2 in my '02 TL, and everyone keeps talking about how you are the man. I am going to install the Z2 along with the BT1 and TV tuner (Power Akoustik model TUNER 5R). I have some common questions like placement of GPS and BT modules, retaining the steering wheel controls, and also how to bypass? I do not want to publicly post my email, and I am not sure how to PM. Please let me know if you can help.
thanks
