sup sabawballs? i went to banawe and they only had cheap depo tails and my gf was getting too tired walking up and down banawe to check out the other stores. i ended up finding some in HK and the price was very fair even though they wouldn't haggle with me.
as far as the head unit, its a pioneer avh-8400bh. i used the axxess aswc to wire up.
Axxess ASWC Steering wheel control interface — connects your car's steering wheel audio controls to an aftermarket stereo at Crutchfield.com
Had to splice in two wires behind the vehicle harness for the steering wheel controls.

so there will be really "splicing" activities to work out with the steering wheel controls. ow well...
lol at your GF who didn't want to walk at banawe. Well maybe because it was so hot and lots of people???
Planning to get either the 4450bt or 8450bt (asian version i guess) to work with.. but the steering wheel controls are the ones that holds me back. Hopefully i can order that one from here
yeh man it was so hot i was soaking just walking 100 ft. had to go buy some sparkle in a plastic and hop into a cab to Trinoma right away.
i believe there are some shops that can install the controls for u there too. I think SNY customs can. I've been checking out their FB page alot and they have alot of audio and custom work.
the install was pretty simple, but it took me a while trying to figure out where the last two wires go. good thing crutchfield had impeccable tech support and after 2 phone calls i soldered the correct wires and had it working. its an 800 number, so u shud be able to call them for help if u buy it from them.

LOL at Sparkle in a plastic
Bad thing is that you weren't able to go to a GE meet
Next time maybe when I come back. Although i'll feel weird going to a car meet with a taxi.
Man... I think I need to look harder next time I go to the PH. All I cam back with was a Jazz emblem, didn't know I could source a similar set of tail lights while I was out there. I only ran into the depo's also.
Yeh everything can be sourced there, but it doesn't mean that they have them in stock. Best i think is to pre-order them from the shop and have them source it from Japan/Taiwan/HK before u go there. They had just ran out of the Axis Tails when i got there and i don't have much time to wait for them to order a set for me.

Yeah, those aren't going to stay on. Especially because the surface they're adhered to is textured. If you want a new steering wheel emblem look, this is the ONLY way to go - GrafiXpressions - Express yourself in vinyl form!....
And why the RS emblem?

quote from autojunction in banawe was php 9500 for axis style red tails. that was a few months ago, so expect a price around there ($250).
I like them.. I even like polished aluminum vacuum vacuum cleaners... When I was younger and riding motorcycles I was never without a tube of Simichrome polish and pieces of an old T shirt..Simichrome

You know those creepy pictures back in Science/Human biology that show humans without skin and just showing muscle tissue and eyes?
Yeah, your photo made me think of that.
None-the-less, I look forward to seeing the finished product!
