I still have to buy, mount, and run the antenna. I will add that part to the thread later.I also got the separation kit for the radio which made installation a lot easier. I ran power directly from the battery. I found a small rubber plug on the passenger side of the firewall that was perfect.

I'll have to block off the floor vent for the winter.[ATTACH=full]190287[/ATTACH]For the front panel I wanted to mount it up as high as I could so I see it with a quick glance. Problem is I didn't want to drill any holes in the dash and I wanted it to look clean. I had some aluminum brackets from work laying around and found it fit perfect for what I had in mind. I only had to drill one small hole in the center speaker tray. [ATTACH=full]190288[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]190289[/ATTACH]With it mounted and powered.[ATTACH=full]190290[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
