I installed one in mine, and I'm also in Irvine. It's fairly simple to do. If you need any help installing one just let me know.

Here's a pic I just took with my phone. If you like it, I may be selling it soon. The dash piece makes install easy, but it's definitely not factory. My OCD is making the minor imperfections with fit and color start to really stand out.

yeah it's really not too hard, I did it for my GD and that was pretty painful! But i've seen some GE DIYs and it looks pretty simple. Just be prepared to wire up!

Leets trust me you'll forget about the fitment it in a few weeks as the better sound massages your ears

thanks for the photo Leets. I would consider your HU but I'm not a Pioneer fan...I'm an Alpine fan. btw, do you hear a difference between that HU and the stock one?

on a scale of 1-10, 10 being best and 1 being low...compare the new HU to the stock one please. Thanks!

Oh I won't be selling the headunit, just the dash kit. I love the headunit. Sound quality is much improved with the Pioneer, but then the speakers' weakness are clearly evident.
